Properties of Materials A1 Test 2

Emily is working on a project where she needs to select a material for a bridge cable. What property should she consider to ensure the cable can withstand being stretched or pulled without breaking?

• The ability of a material to resist deformation under compressive load.

• The maximum stress a material can withstand when being stretched or pulled before breaking.

• The ability of a material to resist forces that cause the material to slide against itself.

• The ability of a material to withstand bending forces.

Samuel and Alexander are working on a construction project. They need to choose a material that can resist forces that might cause it to slide against itself. Which of the following best describes this property?

• The ability of a material to resist deformation under tensile load.

• The ability of a material to resist forces that cause the material to slide against itself.

• The maximum stress a material can withstand when being compressed.

• The ability of a material to withstand bending forces.

During a science experiment, Samuel is testing the strength of different materials by pulling them apart. What type of load is he applying to the materials?

• Compressive load

• Shear load

• Tensile load

• Bending load

Isabella places a heavy box on a shelf. Which of the following is an example of a compressive load?

• A rope being pulled from both ends.

• A book resting on a table.

• Scissors cutting paper.

• A beam bending under weight.

Mia is building a wooden bridge for her school project. She needs to ensure that the bridge can withstand the forces applied when people walk over it without breaking. What property of the wood is she concerned with?

• The ability of a material to resist deformation under tensile load.

• The ability of a material to resist forces that cause the material to slide against itself.

• The ability of a material to withstand bending forces without breaking.

• The maximum stress a material can withstand when being compressed.
