Hooke's law

#science #physics Elastic objects can be stretched, bent or compressed and return back to it's original shape. However, if it is altered too much it will not return to it's original shape. This is known as defecation.

The force will either stretch or compress the object: Stretch: the object increases in length. Compress: **the object decreases in length.

When we apply force to a material, it can extend. The extension is the amount it has increased by.
