What happens to an elastic material when stretching forces are released?
It returns to its
original length
View source
What is a key characteristic of elastic materials when forces are removed?
They return to their
original shape
View source
What happens to an elastic material when squeezing forces are applied?
The material
compresses
View source
What happens to an elastic material when three forces are applied?
The
object
bends
View source
What term do scientists use to describe changes where an object returns to its original shape?
Elastic deformation
View source
Why must more than one force be applied to change an object's length or shape?
To keep the
forces
balanced
View source
What happens to inelastic materials when stretched and the forces are removed?
They do
not
return to
original length
View source
What happens if only one force is applied to a stationary object?
The object would simply
move
View source
What term do scientists use to describe when inelastic materials don't return to their original shape?
Inelastic deformation
View source
What type of energy is stored when an elastic object is stretched or compressed?
Elastic potential energy
View source
When is the work done equal to the elastic potential energy?
If object is not
inelastically
deformed
