The elastic energy density in a stretched wire is:
1. \(\text{(stress)}^2 × \text{strain}\) 2. \(\text{stress} × \text{strain}\)
3. \(\dfrac12\times ​​\text{stress} × \text{strain}\)  4. \(\text{stress} × \text{(strain)}^2\)

When a metal wire elongates by hanging a load on it, the gravitational potential energy decreases.

1. This energy completely appears as the increased kinetic energy of the block.
2. This energy completely appears as the increased elastic potential energy of the wire.
3. This energy completely appears as heat.
4. None of the above.
