How is elastic energy produced?

Elastic energy is produced when a material is stretched or compressed, causing potential energy to be stored in its structure. When the material returns to its original shape, this energy is released as kinetic energy. This process is commonly seen in springs or rubber bands.


Two types of elastic forces?

Two types of elastic forces are tension and compression. Tension is a force that stretches or elongates an object, while compression is a force that squeezes or shortens an object. Both forces are examples of elastic deformation, where the object returns to its original shape once the force is removed.


Describe elastic forces due to tension and compression in matter?

Elastic forces due to tension occur when a material is stretched, causing internal forces that try to bring the material back to its original shape. On the other hand, elastic forces due to compression happen when a material is compressed, resulting in internal forces that resist the compression. Both tension and compression forces are elastic in nature, meaning the material will return to its original shape once the external force is removed.


Is it true or false if squeezing and stretching matter involves elastic forces?

True. Squeezing and stretching matter can involve elastic forces, which result from the deformation of the material and its ability to return to its original shape once the force is removed. This behavior is characteristic of elastic materials such as rubber or springs.


How do forces from an elastic car account for its movement?

When a rubber band–powered car is wound, potential energy is stored in the stretched elastic band. As the elastic band returns to its original shape, it exerts a force that propels the car forward. This force drives the wheels, causing the car to move in the opposite direction to that of the force applied by the elastic band.

What is material elasticity?

A material is called elastic if the deformation produced in the body is completely recovered after the removal the load. For ideally elastic materials, a single valued (linear) and time independent relation exist between the forces and the deformations. Although it is hard to find an ideally elastic material, most of the materials can be considered elastic at least for a specific range.


Is elastic force belongs to weak nuclear force?

Elastic force is mainly related to electrical forces.


Where does elastic energy come from?

The Elastic Energy is the energy of the molecular and/or atomic bounding forces - the structure of the material.

Definition for elastic vibration?

The definition of elastic vibration was found in the website at the bottom. Elastic vibration is oscillating movement of a solid object in which a large majority of the energy is retained though elastic forces and with inertia of the object.www.answers.com/topic/elastic-vibration
