Physics Unit 1 - Material Properties

?
Elastic
It will return to its original shape when the stress forces are removed
1 of 11
Plastic
It will not return to its original shape after stress forces have been applied
2 of 11
Ductile
It can be stretched or drawn into a wire and will not return to its original shape when the stress forces are removed
3 of 11
Hard
It is difficult to cut, dent, scratch or mark the material
4 of 11
Soft
It deforms easily without breaking
5 of 11
Brittle
Cracks or snaps with little or no plastic deformation. It will not stretch far beyond its elastic limit
6 of 11
Tough
It takes a lot of energy to break
7 of 11
Strong
It can withstand a great force before breaking
8 of 11
Malleable
It can be pressed, bent, hammered or rolled without breaking
9 of 11
Stiff
It is resistant to being bent
10 of 11
