Hooke's Law Flashcards
1
Q
when you apply force to an object . . .
A
compress, stretch, bend
2
Q
how many forces must be applied for an object to stay still?
A
more than 1
3
Q
deformation
A
change in an object’s shape
4
Q
2x types of deformation
A
inelastic, elastic
5
Q
elastic deformation
A
after force acting on object is removed, object regains original shape
6
Q
inelastic deformation
A
after force acting on object is removed, object remains deformed
7
Q
extension
A
increased length of a spring when stretched
8
Q
force is proportional to . . .
A
extension
9
Q
higher spring constant, N/m
A
more force required to stretch 1m of the object
10
Q
elastic limit of proportionality
A
when exceeded, object is inelastically deformed
