Question 1

What happens to the elastic potential energy when a wire is stretched?

  • It's released as heat
  • It's stored
  • It disappears

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how a rubber band behaves when stretched.

Question 2

True or False: Young's modulus can help determine the tensile strength of materials.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what Young's modulus tells us about a material.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A copper wire of length 5 m and cross-sectional area 3 Γ— 10^-5 mΒ² is stretched by a 100 N force. Calculate the elastic potential energy stored in the wire if Young's modulus for copper is 110 GPa.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Make sure to calculate all steps carefully.

Question 2

Discuss how the elastic potential energy concept is vital in designing suspension bridges, and calculate the work done in stretching the cables if a load of 50,000 N is applied.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how forces change during use in the real world.
