Elastic energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The elastic energy is the energy which causes or is released by the elastic distortion of a solid or a fluid. Elastic energy is internal energy (U) that can be converted into mechanical energy (work...

This force is proportional to the distance the spring is stretched or compressed (at least for distances not too large), and the elastic potential energy associated with the force is proportional to the square of this distance.

2. Elastic Potential Energy ... An elastic object, such as a spring, is made of a substance that keeps to a particular shape without the influence of outside forces. When a force is applied, as when we stretch or compress a spring, the elastic object exerts an opposing force.

and (3) develop and test an elastic recoil model, based on the observed elastic properties of the depressor mandibulae muscles and series connective tissues, that accounts for displacement, velocity, acceleration and power output during ballistic mouth opening in toads.
