Elasticity,spring constant and hookes's law

Cards (21)

  • What are the different types of elasticity discussed in the video?
    Elastic and inelastic deformation
  • What does the term 'spring constant' refer to?
    It measures stiffness of a spring
  • What is Hooke's Law?
    Force is proportional to extension
  • What happens when a force is applied to an object?
    It can compress, stretch, or bend
  • Why is it easier to see deformation in a spring than in other objects?
    Springs are more elastic than other objects
  • What must be applied to keep an object stationary?
    More than one force must be applied
  • What do we call the change in shape of an object?
    Deformation
  • What is elastic deformation?
    Object returns to original shape after force removal
  • What is inelastic deformation?
    Object does not return to original shape
  • What is extension in the context of springs?
    Increasing length of a spring when stretched
  • What happens to a spring's length when a mass is added?
    Its length increases due to the weight
  • What does the spring's own mass exert on it?
    A downward force in the form of weight
  • What is the natural length of a spring?
    Length before any forces are applied
  • What does the solid support do when a mass is added to a spring?
    Exerts an equal but opposite force upwards
  • How is the relationship between force and extension represented mathematically?
    As fef \propto e
  • What does the letter 'k' represent in the equation f=f =ke ke?

    The spring constant
  • What does a higher spring constant indicate?
    Material is stiffer and requires more force
  • What does a graph of force against extension show?
    Force and extension are directly proportional
  • What is the elastic limit?
    The point where Hooke's Law no longer applies
  • What happens after the elastic limit is reached?
    The object may not return to original shape
  • What are the key concepts related to elasticity covered in the video?
    • Types of deformation: elastic and inelastic
    • Spring constant and its significance
    • Hooke's Law and its application
    • Force-extension relationship
    • Elastic limit and its implications
