This question does not make sense!

In blood chemistry (biochem), erythrocytes' capsule is plastic but not elastic.

Plastic = Able to change shape

Elastic = Stretchable

In this case, erythrocyte can be easily squeezed through narrow capillaries, by changing it's shape and they can maintain so until they went through the capillaries.

They are NOT elastic, as they will rupture when they're stretched.

What is internal plastic flow?

Until a metal reaches its elastic limit, it is undergoing elastic deformation. This means that the metal will regain its original dimensions when unloaded. Upon exceeding the elastic limit, the metal will become plastic and will not regain its original dimensions. A metal undergoes plastic flow when it experiences large deformations while loaded in the plastic region.


What is plastic sulphur and why is it elastic?

Plastic sulphur is an amorphous form of sulphur when liquid (molten) sulphur is poured in ice water the immediate freezing of material is responsible for irregular arrangement of atoms but a coils like structure is formed. The coiling and uncoiling of the structure is responsible foe stretching or elastic nature of sulphur.


Does elastic contain latex?

Yes, elastic can contain latex. Latex is a common material used in elastic bands and other elastic products due to its stretchiness and durability.


What is plastic deformation?

Plastic deformation is a permanent unrecoverable deformation. When the load that caused the deformation is removed, the material will not return to it's original shape but will maintain it's newly deformed shape.


What material is elastic made of, and why is latex commonly used in its production?

Elastic is typically made of rubber or a synthetic material like spandex. Latex is commonly used in elastic production because it is stretchy, durable, and resistant to wear and tear, making it ideal for creating flexible and long-lasting elastic products.

What is the coefficient of restitution in elastic inelastic and plastic collision?

With a plastic impact, the coeffecient of restitution is 0. With an elastic impact, the coeffecient of restitution is 0<e<1. With an inelastic impact, the coeffecient of restitution is 1.
