How many forces needed to deform an object?

More than one force

Effect of a single force on an object

Object moves in direction of force, doesn't change shape

Direction of forces needed to stretch an object

Opposite directions on either side

Role of fixed point when stretching an object

Provides counteracting force

What is deformation?

Change in shape of object due to applied forces

What is elastic deformation?

Object returns to original shape after force removed

Example of elastic deformation

Elastic band stretches and returns to original shape

What is plastic deformation?

Object doesn't return to original shape after force removed

Result of plastic deformation

Permanent change in shape

Example of plastic deformation

Over-stretched spring not returning to original length
