Best Answer

The elongation is more in rubber than glass for same deforming force applied on them. whose elongation is more its elasticity is less. Because less elongation will have more elasticity and vice verse.The answer is "glass"

Is steel is more elastic then rubber?

No, because rubber stretches then snaps back into place. Spring steel might be as elastic as rubber BUT normal steel is much less elastic than rubber.


Which is more elastic rubber or iron?

Rubber is more elastic than iron ... the main reason that you seldom find underpants manufactured with iron wastebands.


Is rubber more brittle than glass?

no because rubber is hard as :-- and glass cannot


What is more elastic iron or rubber?

N0. The common belief is that if an object elongates easily the object is more elastic . But in Physics the object which gives more resistance to elongate is said to be more elastic . Such objects will have high Young's modulus . Steel is more elastic than copper . The Young's modulus for steel is 210 G Pa For copper it is 117 G Pa Elongation for steel is 35% and for copper it is 45% For rubber Young's modulus is 0.02 G Pa and elongation is 500 % During collision two clay balls will stick together. We call it inelastic collision . Two steel balls will rebound easily and the collision is elastic collision.


How strain produced in steel is less as compared to rubber?

It is because the measure of stiffness in elastic material and the quantity used to make materials. Also because it is more common than other elastic modulus measured.


Do sound waves travel slower in rubber water air or glass?

The speed of a sound wave depends on two properties of a medium, density and elasticity.Specifically, for basically all substances, the speed of sound equals the square root of the ratio of the elastic constant divided by the density.Glass has a very large elastic constant but not an exceptionally large density, so it would be expected to have a speed of sound similar to or greater than most solids and that is much greater than the speed of sound in air. Rubber is lighter than most solids, but has a small elastic constant. (That is the whole point of a rubber band, i.e. easy to stretch.) One would expect the very small elastic constant to make the speed of sound in rubber far less than other solids. Given that its density is far greater than air, however, the speed of sound in rubber is going to be smaller than in air. Of course, the term "rubber" is applied to many different materials and so the conclusions related to rubber may not be broadly valid.


What will bounce higher then a rubber ball?

A glass ball will bounce higher than a rubber one.


What is in elasticity?

In science, elasticity is the tendency of a material to return to its original size and shape when it is released from being stretched or compressed. By this definition steel is more elastic than rubber.


Why is elongation more in glass than rubber for the same deforming force?

because when the same force is used on another by itself glass or rubber the elongations expand in wisth instead of lenth so the product only looks bigger then longer.
