Question

Why do we say that a spring is elastic? Why do we say that a spring is elastic? It does not obey Hooke's law. When deformed, it returns to its original shape. It is made of rubber. When deformed, it does not return to its original shape.

Answer 1

When deformed, it returns to its original shape

Step-by-step explanation:

• A spring is elastic.
• Elasticity is the property of a material to regain its shape after having been deformed.
• It means that when the force is doubled, the amount of deformation in it gets doubled.
• Hence, the correct option is (b) " When deformed, it returns to its original shape".
