what is Hookes law?
The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied
What is extension?
Final length - original length
What is Elastic Limit?
A point at which the material will no longer behave elastically
What is Elastic Deformation?
When the object will return to its original shape when force is removed
What is inelastic deformation?
When an object will not return to its original shape once force is removed
What is the limit of proportionality?
The point after which force and extension are no longer proportional
What is Elastic Potential Energy?
The energy store pd in a stretched or compressed material
What is spring constant?
Tells you the amount of force needed per unit length to stretch or compress a material
