The quality of being elastic; the inherent property in bodies by which they recover their former figure or dimensions, after the removal of external pressure or altering force; springiness; tendency to rebound; as, the elasticity of caoutchouc; the elasticity of the air., Power of resistance to, or recovery from, depression or overwork.
Elastic refers to the property of a material to return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed.
"Flexibility" is one word that encompasses both elastic and non-elastic properties.
An Elastic Affair was created in 1930.
Elastic force is the force exerted by a stretched or compressed elastic material to return to its original shape. Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in an elastic material when it is stretched or compressed. The elastic force is responsible for restoring the material to its original shape, converting the stored elastic potential energy back to kinetic energy.
The energy stored in a stretched elastic is potential energy, specifically elastic potential energy. When the elastic is stretched, work is done to stretch it, and this work is stored as potential energy in the elastic material.
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
No, by definition Hooke's law relates to linear elastic only; when outside the elastic region it does not apply.
If ep = dQ/dP.P/Q = infinity, the demand is perfectly elastic.
Elastic refers to the property of a material to return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed.
The definition of perfectly elastic supply is a supply that can change along with the demand. This means if paper for example is not demanded in large quantities and then all of the sudden is there will be enough paper to supply the demand.
A sound wave's structure, by definition, is a longitudinal one. More specifically, it is "a longitudinal wave in an elastic medium."
Potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object, such as the stretching of a spring.
cive 2700 is the worst class and naki is a c**t
capable of resuming original shape after stretching or compression; springy; "an elastic band"; "a youthful and elastic walk" rubber band: a narrow band of elastic rubber used to hold things (such as papers) together able to adjust readily to different conditions; "an adaptable person"; "a flexible personality"; "an elastic clause in a contract" a fabric made of yarns containing an elastic material Lauren =]
If you stretch a rubber band then release it, it will return to its original shape. That is by definition elastic strain. Anything that returns to its original shape after being affected by force underwent elastic strain. If it is permanently deformed (ie you bent a paperclip out of place and it wont return to its original shape) then it passes the elastic strain region and suffered plastic strain.
By it's strictest definition, laptops are not "elastic" because they cannot be stretched. In a broader sense, laptops are relatively inelastic because they lack the ability to be upgraded robustly.
