1
New cards

what is elastic deformation?

when an object can go back to its original shape and length after the force has been removed

2
New cards

how do we change an objects length or shape?

we have to apply more than one force. if we only applied one force to a stationary object, then the forces are no longer balanced

3
New cards

inelastic deformation

when we stretch inelastic materials, they do not return to their original length when the forces are removed

4
New cards

a feature of an elastic material

the stretching forces are quest in magnitude but opposite in direction

5
New cards

when is work done?

when a force stretches or compressed an object and causes energy to be transferred to the elastic potential energy store of the object

6
New cards

what is extension directly proportional to?

force

7
New cards

equation linking force, spring constant and extension

Force (N) = spring constant (N/m) x extension (m)
