What is the tendency to break rather than bend?

Brittleness is the tendency of a material to break rather than bend under stress. This is due to the lack of plastic deformation before fracture occurs. Materials like ceramics and glass are typically known for their brittleness.


What does bend the rules mean?

"Bend the rules" means to slightly break or twist the rules in a way that allows for flexibility or achieving a desired outcome without fully violating the rules.


Can copper bend forever and not bend?

No, copper will eventually break if it is bent repeatedly. While copper is known for its malleability and ductility, it does have a limit to how many times it can be bent before it becomes weakened and breaks.


Does the ruler bend when you press it hard?

Although theoretically possible, most rulers are designed to withstand moderate pressure without bending. However, excessive force can cause the ruler to bend or break, especially if it is made of a flexible material like plastic. It is recommended to use rulers within their intended limits to prevent damage.


How can the same material bend in one situation but break in another?

A material can bend in one situation if the force applied is within its elastic limit, allowing it to deform and return to its original shape. However, if the force exceeds the material's ultimate strength, it may break due to permanent deformation or fracture. The difference lies in the amount and type of force applied and the material's ability to withstand it.
