Depends on how strong the metal is, how much of it there is, and how big the force is.

Strong metal, lots of it, only little force - nothing happens.

Strong metal, small part, little force - the metal will stretch and then spring back when the force is removed.

Strong metal, small part, more force - the metal will stretch permanently.

Strong metal, small part, even more force, the metal will stretch until it snaps.

What happens to a spring when someone apply a pulling force?

When a pulling force is applied to a spring, it stretches due to the tension created in the spring's material. The spring elongates in the direction of the applied force until the force is removed. The amount of stretching is proportional to the force applied, as described by Hooke's Law.


What force applied when stretching a rubber band?

Elastic potential energy.


Is stretching a force?

yes, stretching is a force!


What is the difference in metals and ionic compounds when force is applied?

Metals exhibit ductility and malleability when a force is applied, allowing them to be stretched or shaped without breaking. Ionic compounds, on the other hand, tend to shatter when a force is applied due to the strong electrostatic forces holding their ions together in a lattice structure.


What happens to the length of the spring when you pull it?

When you pull a spring, it increases in length due to the stretching of its coils. The amount by which the spring elongates is proportional to the force applied to it, as described by Hooke's Law.


What happens when a force is applied to an object?

The object will not move!!!


What happens to acceleration is force increases?

it increases in direct proportion to the force applied


What force in an object resists stretching or pressing?

The force that resists stretching or pressing in an object is known as tensile strength or compressive strength, depending on the type of force being applied. This force prevents the object from deforming or breaking under tension or compression by holding its structural integrity.


What is a force applied to a confined fluid?

Surface Tension happens


What happens to a moving object when force is applied?

The object is accelerated in the direction of the net (or resultant) force.


A force can cause an object to change its shape?

Yes, a force applied to an object can deform its shape by stretching, bending, compressing, or twisting it. This change in shape is often temporary and depends on the magnitude and direction of the force applied.


What happens when force is applied to a flat surface?

When force is applied to a flat surface, it can result in the surface deforming or breaking depending on the magnitude of the force. The surface may also experience frictional forces depending on the material and the amount of force applied.
