Hookes law

Question 1

What is Hookes law?

Answer 1

The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force appllied, up to the limit of proportionality

Question 2

What is the limit of proportionality?

Answer 2

The point beyond which the relationship between force and extension are no longer directly proportional

Question 3

What does a hookes law graph look like?

Answer 3

A line that goes through the origin, that starts to level off after reaching the limit of proportionality

Question 4

What is elastic behaviour?

Answer 4

The ability of material to recover its original shape after the forces causing the deformation have been removed

Question 5

What is elastic deformation?

Answer 5

When the object does return to its original shape after the deforming forces are removed

Question 6

What is inelastic deformation?

Answer 6

Is when the object does not return to its orginal shape after the deforming forces are removed
