Questions and Answers

What is the definition of elasticity in physics and materials science?

  • The ability of a body to change size and shape irreversibly
  • The ability of a body to permanently deform under stress
  • The ability of a body to resist a distorting influence and return to its original size and shape (correct)
  • The ability of a body to resist a distorting influence but not return to its original size and shape
  • What is the difference between elasticity and plasticity?

  • Elasticity causes irreversible deformation, while plasticity allows the object to return to its original shape
  • Elasticity causes the object to permanently deform, while plasticity allows for temporary deformation
  • Elasticity allows the object to return to its original shape, while plasticity causes the object to remain in its deformed state (correct)
  • Elasticity and plasticity are essentially the same with no significant difference
  • What causes elasticity in metals?

  • Energy addition causing permanent deformation
  • Stretching of polymer chains when forces are applied
  • No specific physical reasons for elastic behavior in metals
  • Changes in atomic lattice size and shape when forces are applied (correct)
