4) Hooke's Law Flashcards
1
Q
How do you extend an object?
A
Add weight to it; an object stretches when there is weight on it.
2
Q
What do graphs show about weight added in extension distance?
A
That they have a linear correlation (they have a straight diagnol line and they increase at the same rate).
3
Q
On a graph that represents weight added against extenstion distance, what happen to the object when the line starts to curve?
A
The object has reachedits elastic potential (it has snapped)
4
Q
What does the characteristics of elastic behavior mean?
A
That after stretching the object, it will return to its original shape
5
Q
What does elastic limit mean?
A
When you stretch your object too much that it does not retain its original shape
