A catapult's lever holds a cannonball. The lever is attached to a tightly held rope. When the rope is released, the lever springs forward and launches the cannonball. When the
rope is held tightly, which form of energy does it possess?
thermal
O nuclear
O gravitational
elastic
It
PLEASE HELP

Elastic

Step-by-step explanation:

Elastic energy is a result of an object being stretched, squished, etc. because of the force applied. It holds potential energy.

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
