Is glass more elastic than rubber?

The elongation is more in rubber than glass for same deforming force applied on them. whose elongation is more its elasticity is less. Because less elongation will have more elasticity and vice verse.The answer is "glass"


Would glass or plastic shelving be better in a freezer and can you explain your choice?

Plastic shelving would be better in a freezer than glass because the extreme cold would make the glass more brittle and thus more likely to break.

Why is elongation more in glass than rubber for the same deforming force?

because when the same force is used on another by itself glass or rubber the elongations expand in wisth instead of lenth so the product only looks bigger then longer.


Why do glass balls bounce higher than rubber balls?

They don't.


Is all glass transparent?

Take into account that there are more than 3 stages of matter, and glass happens to be its own state of matter. By definition, glass is anything that goes through a "glass transition". Rubber happens to go through one in its solid state (meaning it can shatter and not stretch if it gets too cold). Thus, since rubber is a glass, not all glass is transparent.


Can rubber stand the cold?

If you drop a piece of rubber in liquid nitrogen, (in a dewar, where the liquid nitrogen does not boil that fast), then the rubber will be frozen. In that sense, the rubber will get hard and brittle. If by 'freeze' you mean the formal definition, which is to form actual crystals, as water does when it freezes, then the rubber won't freeze. You should know that when you drop the rubber into the liquid, the liquid will boil off very quickly for a while even though it's in a dewar. That's because heat will flow straight from the rubber into the liquid.


Will a ball of glass Bounce higer then a ball of Rubber?

it is scientifically proven that a ball of glass bounces higher than a ball of rubber. No cause the glass would break if you drop it to high and the rubber one would not ! It depends on wether or not your counting the height the shards fly up.


How do you install a upper back window in an international 1066 tractor do you put the window in the rubber seal first or do you have the rubber seal in place and try to get the glass into the rubber?

You put the seal on the glass then put the window in the frame. This eliminates the pressure on the glass. IT is easier to run a glazing tool around the metal frame without damage than it is to run it around the glass.


Why does glass shatter more easily than diamond?

diamonds are stronger than glass, therefore, glass shatters more easily.


What happens when rubber is super cool?

I'm not sure, but I think when rubber is super cooled, it becomes more solidified. Thus, you are able to break off pieces of it and the rubber loses it elasticity. what they trying to say is it will SHATTER LIKE GLASS
