tension is the opposite of compression, so it would be anything pulling in an object;

cables on a bridge, a zipline, even when you reach out to grab something! there is so many things that are under tension or compression that are all around us.

Is tension an invisible force?

Tension is not an invisible force. It is a force that occurs when objects are pulled in opposite directions, causing them to stretch. While tension itself cannot be seen, its effects on objects can be observed.

Are straws stronger under tension or compression?

Straws are typically stronger under tension, which means they are better at withstanding a pulling force rather than a pushing force. This is because the material of the straw is more likely to deform or buckle under compression rather than stretch or break under tension.

Where does tension occur in objects?

Tension occurs in objects when something is pushing or pulling against something that is pulling the opposite way. Like a seagull gliding through the air or a book getting slid across carpet.


What properties of liquids make it support heavier objects like a thin film over it?

Liquids have cohesive forces that allow them to stick together and provide surface tension. This surface tension can support lighter objects by creating a thin film that can hold them up. Additionally, the viscosity of liquids helps to stabilize objects placed on their surface by preventing them from sinking.
