Define Contact Force

Back

Any force that occurs as a result of two objects making contact with each other

Front

Define Peak Force

Front

What factors affect how much an object deforms when a force is applied?

Back

The type of material, the shape, and the thickness of an object.

Front

What is the elastic limit?

Back

The maximum amount of stress or force that a material can withstand without permanent deformation.

Front

What is a breaking point?

Back

The point at which a material fails and breaks under stress.

Front

What is the difference between contact force and non-contact force?

Back
