Answer:

he string has POTENTIAL ELASTIC energy

Step-by-step explanation:

he catapult is a very good example of energy transformations.

Initially when the string is taut it has an elastic potential energy, when releasing the lever it is transformed into cinetic energy in the ball until it shoots out.

Consequently the string has POTENTIAL ELASTIC energy
