forces : and elasticity Flashcards
1
Q
explain the relationship between the force applied and the extension of an elastic object
A
the extension is directly proportional to the force applied upon it.
2
Q
what is inelastic deformation
A
- deformation resulting in permantent formation change (its permanently stretched)
- doesn’t go back to original shape after force is removed
3
Q
what type of energy is stored in a spring when it is being stretched
A
elastic potential energy

5
Q
what can Extension be replaced with in the equation for Spring Constant
A
compression
