Question

1. choose the correct answer.

____potential energy is stored in a ball held high above the ground.
gravitational
chemical
elastic

1. choose the correct answer.

____potential energy is stored in a slingshot when it is pulled back.
chemical
elastic
gravitational

Explanation:

• For question 7: Gravitational potential energy is related to an object's height above the ground. A ball held high has gravitational potential energy due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field.
• For question 8: Elastic potential energy is stored in objects that can be deformed and then return to their original shape. A pulled - back slingshot is deformed (stretched) and stores elastic potential energy.

Answer:

1. Gravitational
2. Elastic
