elastic potential energy
(redirected from elastic energy)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

elastic potential energy

Energy stored in an object when it is deformed or changes its configuration. For example, by stretching a rubber band or compressing a spring, energy is stored in the band or spring. By releasing the stretched band or compressed spring, the elastic potential energy is converted to kinetic (motion) energy.
