Forces And Elasticity Flashcards
1
Q
What does stretching, compressing and bending do?
A
Transfer energy to the object’s elastic potential energy store.
2
Q
What is elastic deformation?
A
It can go back to its original shape and length
3
Q
What is inelastic deformation?
A
It can’t return to its og shape or length
4
Q
What is extension?
A
Extension is directly proportional to force.
5
Q
What is the equation for force when dealing with elastics?
A
Force(N)= spring constant(N/m) x extension
6
Q
What is the limit of proportionality?
A
A maximum Force above which the graph curves showing extension is not proportional to force.
