What is the difference between compression and tension?
the difference is that compression is like pushing something together and tension is like pulling something appart
What are two types of elastic forces?
compression and tension Compression is a squeezing force, while tension is a pulling force.
What is the difference between compression and tension and how does it affect your bridge?
Compression is pushing things together and tension is pulling things apart. A clothesline is under tension and a stack of firewood is under compression. How it affects the bridge depends on how well it is engineered. Properly built it'll hold up to its various loads w/o problems,
Is bone weaker under compression or tension forces?
Tension
Are straws stronger under tension or compression?
tension when it bends the ridges are pulling apart and thats tension
What is the difference between tension and compression structures?
compression zone is an positive zone,tension zone is an negative zone..
What is the difference between compression and tension?
the difference is that compression is like pushing something together and tension is like pulling something appart
How do compression and tension create motion?
tension streches it compression squeezes it
Why was the crack an effect of tension and not compression stress?
A crack is caused by tension not compression because tension pulls matter apart while compression pushes matter together
Compare the way that compression affects the crust to the way that tension affects the crust?
compression and tension are opposite. compression pushes the crust together but tension pulls it apart
List the three types of stress that occur in earth's crust?
the 3 kinds of stress are compression,tension, and shearing
What are two types of elastic forces?
compression and tension Compression is a squeezing force, while tension is a pulling force.
What are the five forces that act upon bridges?
1.compression 2.tension 3.torsion 4.shear 5.gravity
What is the neeed of extensometer?
it is used to measure the extension or compression in the object after it is subjected to tension or compression test it is used to measure the extension or compression in the object after it is subjected to tension or compression test

Is bone weaker under compression or tension forces?
Tension
What is tension and compression?
Tension and compression takes place when an object has a force on another object. The tension is when the force is causing a pulling effect on part of the object. The compression is when the force is causing a contracting effect on part of the object.
