1.

Plastic Deformation is when a material...

a)

becomes temporarily deformed

b)

loses elastic potential energy

c)

becomes permanently deformed

d)

gains kinetic energy

2.

When an elastic band is stretched and contracted it forms a graph like this.

What does the area between the two lines (region X) represent?

a)

The work done needed to stretch the rubber band

b)

The heat energy produced in the rubber band

c)

The energy used to contract the rubber band

d)

The spring constant of the rubber band

3.

A material is stretched and contracted by adding then removing a mass load from it. The graph is shown on the left.

What 2 things does this graph tell us about the material?

a)

The material does not obey Hooke's Law

b)

The material experiences plastic deformation when a load is applied

c)

The material experiences elastic deformation when a load is applied

d)

The material does obey Hooke's Law

4.

Elastic Deformation is when a material...

a)

becomes temporarily deformed

b)

loses elastic potential energy

c)

becomes permanently deformed

d)

gains kinetic energy

5.

During plastic deformation energy is not conserved, which is why we see a permanent extension in the material.

Which answer provides the best explanation for this?

a)

The energy is 'lost' because the material temporarily changes state to a liquid then back again

b)

The energy is 'lost' as heat to the surroundings

c)

The energy 'lost' is being used to vibrate the atoms in their positions

d)

The energy 'lost' is being used to reposition the atoms

6.

The equation for stress is...

a)

σ=FA\sigma=\frac{F}{A}  

b)

σ=FA\sigma=FA  

c)

σ=Δxx\sigma=\frac{\Delta x}{x}  

d)

σ=ΔxA\sigma=\Delta xA  

7.

The gradient of the linear portion of a stress-strain graph is...

a)

The spring constant of the material

b)

The force per unit area

c)

The elastic strain energy per unit volume

d)

The Young's Modulus

8.

The equation for strain is...

a)

ϵ=FA\epsilon=\frac{F}{A}  

b)

ϵ=FA\epsilon=FA  

c)

ϵ=Δxx\epsilon=\frac{\Delta x}{x}  

d)

ϵ=ΔxA\epsilon=\Delta xA  

9.

c)

YM=FxAΔxYM=\frac{Fx}{A\Delta x}  

d)

YM=FΔxAxYM=\frac{F\Delta x}{Ax}
