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.

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.


Which of the following is most elastic A. steel B. rubber C. silver D.glass?

Option B, rubber, is the most elastic of the materials listed. Rubber can stretch and deform significantly under stress and return to its original shape once the stress is removed, making it highly elastic compared to steel, silver, and glass.


Which is more elastic rubber or glass?

Rubber is generally more elastic than glass. Rubber has a higher elasticity due to its ability to undergo large deformations without breaking, while glass is more brittle and tends to shatter or crack when subjected to stress.


What are the examples of elastic materials?

steel cables, rubber bands, springs and lycra clothes


Which has more elastic potential energy when stretched a thinner rubber band or a thicker rubber band?

A thinner rubber band has more elastic potential energy when stretched compared to a thicker rubber band because the thinner rubber band stores more energy per unit length due to its greater stretching capacity and elasticity.

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.


Why do we not use rubber in young modulus experiment of elasticity?

Contrary to popular expectation, rubber is not really elastic, atleast not the way scientists define elasticity. Rubber is actually much less elastic than steel. Thus for best results we use steel or similar materials, say brass, in this experiment.


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.


Who has more elasticity steel or rubber?

Rubber.


Is a natural rubber more elastic than a synthetic rubber?

Yes, natural rubber is generally more elastic than synthetic rubber due to its molecular structure, which allows it to stretch and return to its original shape more easily. Synthetic rubbers may have other desirable properties, such as chemical resistance or durability, but they often have less elasticity compared to natural rubber.


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.


Which is more elastic rubber or glass?

Rubber is generally more elastic than glass. Rubber has a higher elasticity due to its ability to undergo large deformations without breaking, while glass is more brittle and tends to shatter or crack when subjected to stress.
