Elasticity

The ability of an object to return to its original shape after the force applied on it has been removed

Hooke's law

Extension of spring is directly proportional to the force applied to the spring provided that the elastic limit of the spring has not been exceeded

Elastic limit

The maximum force that can be applied on the spring before spring stops being elastic F=kxF=kx, where F = force, k = spring constant, x = extension of spring

A shorter spring.....

........has a lower elasticity

The larger the diameter of spring......

......the lower the spring elasticity

Factors affecting the elasticity of spring

Types of materials used, the arrangement of spring, the diameter of spring, and the length of spring

Hooke's Law equation

F=kx

Series spring

Has a lower elasticity

Parallel spring

Has a higher elasticity

Spring elongates exceeds the elastic limit

The spring unable to reverse to its original state
