No, an elastic is not classified as a simple machine. Simple machines, such as levers, pulleys, and inclined planes, are basic mechanical devices that change the direction or magnitude of a force. An elastic, which is typically a stretchable band, functions based on the principles of elasticity rather than mechanical advantage, making it a flexible tool rather than a simple machine.

If a spring is not a simple machine what is it?

A spring is a mechanical component that can store and release mechanical energy. It does not fit the definition of a simple machine, which are basic mechanical devices that can alter the direction or magnitude of a force. Springs use the elasticity of their material to store potential energy when compressed or stretched.
