A slingshot consists of a light leather cup containing a stone. The cup is pulled back against two parallel rubber bands. It takes a force of 15 N to stretch either one of these bands 1.0 cm. (a) What is the potential energy stored in the two bands together when a 58-g stone is placed in the cup and pulled back 0.14 m from the equilibrium position? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100%. J (b) With what speed does the stone leave the slingshot? x Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100%. m/s
