A relaxed rubber band is stretched back, then released. It flies through the air and comes to rest on the ground. Which of the following correctly describes the sequence of energy transformations that occur in this scenario? The mechanical energy used to stretch the rubber band back is changed to elastic potential energy in the rubber band. The elastic potential energy is transferred to kinetic energy as the rubber band flies. The potential energy used to stretch the rubber band back is changed to kinetic energy in the rubber band. The kinetic energy is transferred to mechanical energy as the rubber band flies. The kinetic energy used to stretch the rubber band back is changed to gravitational potential energy in the rubber band. The gravitational potential energy is transferred back to kinetic energy as the rubber band hits the ground. The potential energy used to stretch the rubber band back is changed to heat energy in the rubber band. The heat energy is transferred to mechanical energy as the rubber band hits the ground.
