Which transformation of energy takes place when a slingshot launches a stone?
elastic pe to gravitational pe
elastic pe to kinetic energy
gravitational pe to elastic pe
kinetic energy to gravitational pe

elastic PE to kinetic energy

Explanation: According to the law of conservation of energy, the energy must be conserved. It transforms from one form to another.

Elastic potential energy is the energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object. The deformation could involve compressing, stretching or twisting the object. Kinetic energy is the energy which is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.

When a slingshot launches a stone the elastic potential energy in the slingshot converts to kinetic energy which helps the stone to launch.
