Bending and Stretching Flashcards
1
Q
What is elastic and inelastic deformation?
A
Elastic: when a force is removed, it returns to its original shape
Inelastic: when a force is removed, it will not return to its original shape
2
Q
How do you calculate Extension
A
Final length - original length
3
Q
How do you calculate force with extension?
A
Force= spring constant (n/m) x extension
4
Q
What is the gradient on a force, extension graph
A
gradient = spring constant
5
Q
How do you calculate Energy with extension?
A
Energy = 0.5 x spring constant x (extension)^2
