Meaning

Rubber bands can store energy in their elastic potential store.

The elastic potential energy store is an energy store associated with stretched, squashed and twisted elastic objects.

About Elastic Potential Energy

The more an object is stretched the more energy it has in its elastic potential energy store.

Rubber bands can store energy when they are stretched. A spring stores energy in the elastic potential store when they are stretched, squashed and bent. A stretched bow stores elastic potential energy. The further it is stretched the more energy it stores.
