1
New cards

explain the relationship between the force applied and the extension of an elastic object

the extension is directly proportional to the force applied, provided that the limit of proportionality is not exceeded

2
New cards

what is meant by an inelastic (plastic) deformation?

  • a deformation which results in the object being permanently stretched

  • the object doesn’t return to its original shape when the force is removed

3
New cards

state the equation relating force, spring constant and extension. give units

force = spring constant x extension

force(N), spring constant(N/m), extension(m)

4
New cards

what type of energy is stored in a spring when it is stretched?

elastic potential energy

5
New cards

what can extension be replaced with in the equation for spring force?

compression
