MSCGrid8CC1BExitQuiz Material Properties Quiz

What property of a material describes its ability to deform under tensile stress without breaking?

• Hardness

• Malleability

• Ductility

• Toughness

Which mechanical property is a measure of a material's resistance to deformation when subjected to a force?

• Strength

• Temperature

• Ductility

• Stress

What is the term used to describe the maximum stress a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before failing or breaking?

• Elasticity

• Plasticity

• Tensile Strength

• Compressibility

Which of the following materials is typically considered brittle?

• Rubber

• Glass

• Aluminum

• Copper

Which property of a material describes its ability to deform under stress before returning to its original shape?

• Elasticity

• Plasticity

• Hardness

• Flexibility

What material is the hardest?

• Wood

• Diamond

• Tin

• Plastic

Which of the following is NOT a physical property?

• Color

• Brittleness

• Flammability

• Ductility

Which of the following is NOT a factor that affects the mechanical properties of a material?

• Temperature

• Color

• Strain rate

• Microstructure

Ductility can be quantitatively measured by the:

• Percentage increase in length before rupture.

• Hardness number from a hardness test.

• Maximum stress applied during a tensile test.

• Amount of energy absorbed before fracture.

What is the primary difference between ductility and toughness?

• Ductility is a measure of a material's ability to deform under tensile stress, while toughness is a measure of a material's ability to absorb energy before fracturing.

• Ductility is a measure of a material's hardness, while toughness is a measure of its strength.

• Ductility is a measure of a material's resistance to wear, while toughness is a measure of its resistance to scratching.

• There is no significant difference; both terms describe the same property.
