- Forces and Elasticity
- When a force is applied to an object it may change the shape of the object or make it to stretch
- If the object returns to its original shape when the force is removed then it is an elastic object
- Work is done to elastic objects to change their shape
- When objects stretch they store elastic potential energy
- This is converted into kinetic energy when the force is removed
- Makes the object return to its original shaoe
- This is converted into kinetic energy when the force is removed
- The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied
- Extension is measured in metres
- Force is measured in newtons
- Force applied = spring constant x extension
- The limit of proportionality
- The max force that an elastic object can take and still extend proportionally
- When a force goes past the LoP the material will be permanently stretched
- Object won't go back to its exact shape at the start
- When a force is applied to an object it may change the shape of the object or make it to stretch
