Answer:

  1. When a spring is coiled up or a rubber band is stretched, mechanical energy is stored in it.
  2. When the spring uncoils or the rubber band snaps back, this energy is released.
  3. This stored mechanical energy is called potential energy because it has the potential to make things happen.
