What happens when you stretch a rubber band and let it go?

Answer 3: The more a rubber band stretches, the more energy is stores. When you let go, the rubber band releases the stored energy. As a result, if the rubber band is stretched further, it releases more energy and thus goes further.

When you release a stretched rubber band The rubber band has energy?

elastic potential energy
Kinetic energy is energy in an object because of its motion. For example, a rubber band that is stretched has elastic potential energy, because when released, the rubber band will spring back toward its resting state, transferring the potential energy to kinetic energy in the process.

What happing to elastic rubber if one of the ends is stretched and released?

Therefore, even though the rubber band was stretched initially, as it is released, its different parts/particles move to bring it in relaxed state. However, the movements of the different parts of the rubber band cancel one another out and the net motion of center of mass or rubber band remains unaffected.
