Malleable means it can be hammered into a thin sheet.

Ductile means it can be stretched into a wire.

Not stretched, but it can be melted down into a wire shape.

The ability of a metal to be stretched into a wire is called ductility, and the metal is said to be ductile.

Can you give me a sentence with ductile in it?

Metal is ductile when it is capable of being stretched into a thin wire.


A metal can be stretched into a thin wire because it is?

ductile, meaning that it can be deformed without breaking and can be stretched into a thin wire shape. This property is the result of the metallic bonds between atoms in the metal, which allow for the movement of atoms without causing structural failure.

Physical. The metal wire is still a metal wire after the change.


A piece of wire is stretched such that its length increases and its radius decreases the resistance of the wire will tend to?

A piece of wire stretched such that its length increases and its radius decreases will tend to have its resistance increase. The formula for this is: R = ρL/A where ρ = resistivity of the material composing the wire, L = length of the wire, and A = area of the conducting cross section of the wire. It can easily be seen that as area decreases resistance gets higher. In the case proposed the wire length is not reduced as it is stretched to reduce the area, this increases the resistivity as well.


Why energy is stored in stretched wire?

Elastic potential energy (EPE) is stored in a stretched wire because when it is stretched it has the potential to bounce back with kinetic energy and because energy cannot be created or destroyed (conservation of energy) this energy must start from somewhere and that is EPE.
