Answer:

The elastic limit of a material is the furthest

point it can be stretched or deformed while

being able to return to its previous shape.

Step-by-step explanation:

Once a material has gone past its elastic

limit, its deformation is said to be inelastic.

The higher the spring constant, the stiffer

the spring.
