How do you measure potential energy in a rubber band?
I am doing the Rubber Bands For Energy science project. How do you measure potential energy in a stretched rubber band?

Hi lololololololololololololololol,
The potential energy of a stretched rubber band can be calculated by the equation 1/2 kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is displacement.
Hope this helps,
