Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which property of a material describes its ability to return to its original shape after deformation? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand what deformation means. Deformation is when a material changes shape due to an applied force.
  • Step 2: Think about what happens when you stretch or compress a material, like a rubber band.
  • Step 3: Notice that some materials can go back to their original shape after being stretched or compressed.
  • Step 4: The ability of a material to return to its original shape after deformation is called elasticity.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the property that describes this ability is elasticity.
