glass has a low elactisity (if thats spell right) strength, whcih means when its pushed, like someones thrown a ball at it, it will bend only a little bit, because glass has high tensile strength, it means that the force on the glass will overcome the tensility and the glass will then rely on the electisity to keep it in shape, but it wont keep in shape, thats when u get a crack. plastic though, has very high elactisity strength, so when the tensility is overcomed by theforce, the stretchiness of the plastic wont let it snap or be pierec, it will deform, but wont come loose, thats why car windows have plastic between two sheets of glass as the plasticcan take the 'bend'
