ELASTIC POTENTIAL ENERGY
What is elastic potential energy?
Elastic potential energy is potential energy which is stored in elastic objects. It causes the shape to change if it's stretched although it also work as well if you squash and object too.
Example:
When you throw a squash ball at a hard surface it changes shape them bounces back up, this is because the ball contains elastic potential energy.
