What is elasticity?

In physics, the elasticity is the ability to return to its initial shape after applying an external force to it and then removed. An object with a high level of elasticity is able to change its shape a lot, and it can still return to its original form. Solid substances with small or no elasticity either deform permanently or break when force is applied. The term elasticity can also be used to describe the ability of processes or systems to stretch or be flexible.

Due to the molecular composition of solids, liquids and gases, all react differently to the external voltage. The molecules that make up solid are very close and are found in a precise arrangement. This means that there is little space for giving when the force is applied to the solid. The molecules of liquids and gases spread further apart and move more freely than the solid substances. When power is applied to liquids and gases, they can either drain from or around or be a lot of comprimoVana, unlike most solids.

There are three different classes of force or tension that can affect fixed objects. The first is the tension, also called stretching that occurs when the same but opposite forces are applied at one end of the object. Compression is the second type of tension that occurs when the object is under pressure, or the force pushing on the solid is 90 degrees on its surface. Imagine that you crush an empty paper towel between your hands with your hands at both ends. The final type of stress is a cut, which happens when the force is parallel to the surface of the object.

Initially, when any strength is applied to a solid, it resists and remains in its original shape. As the force increases, the solid will not be able to maintain resistance and begin to change the shape or deform. Like different types, they have different elastic properties, they can also resist different levels of force before affecting. NAKONEC, if the force is strong enough, the deformed shape becomes permanent or the solid breaks.

It is the amount of force that is applied to the object, not for the duration, determines whether it can return to its initial form. When the solid cannot return to the original shape, it is said that it has passed its elastic limit. The elastic limit is the maximum amount of voltage that can be endowed with a solid, which allows it to return to normal. This limit depends on the type of material used. For example, rubber belts have high elasticity and thus a high elastic limit compared to concrete brick, which is almost inflexible and has a very low elastic limit.
