—> when a material is extended or compressed by a force, it will store energy until the force is applied and it returns to its original shape.
—> if a material returns to its original shape after a force is removed this is known as elastic deformation.
—> if a material is permanently deformed after a force is removed this is knowing as plastic deformation.
—> if plastic deformation occurs, the material had gone beyond its elastic limit.
—> to stretch the spring, you are using energy which is transferred into stored energy in the spring.
—> if ever a transfer of energy takes place, we say that work is done.
