Topic 5 Forces And Elasticty Flashcards
What can happen when you apply force on an object
Stretch compress or bend
How many forces do you need to stretch compress or bend an object
More than one
What does it mean if an object is elastically formed
It can go back to its original shape and length after the force has been removed 
What can objects that have been elastically deformed called
Elastic object
What happens to an object that is inelastically deformed
Does not return to its shape and length after the force has been removed
When is work done
Weather for stretches or compresses an object causing energy to be transferred the elastic potential energy store of the object
Where is all the energy transferred to if an object is elastically deformed
The objects elastic potential energy store
What is the limit of proportionality
The maximum force where extension is no longer proportional to it
What is the extension of the stretched spring directly proportional to
The load or force applied
What does the spring constant depend on
The material you are stretching
Stiffer = greater spring constant
