New cards

Explain relationship between force applies and extension of elastic object

Extension is directly proportional to force provided that the limit of proportionality is not exceeded

2
New cards

Inelastic deformation

An object undergoing inelastic deformation will not return to its original shape once the forces being applied to it are removed.

3
New cards
