AS Physics (Materials)

Question	Answer
Breaking Stress	The lowest stress required to break a material
Brittle	Doesn't deform plastically, snaps under stress
Brittle Fracture	When stress is applied, cracks form in the material increasing in size until the material breaks.
Compressive Force	Compression (squashing)
Density	Mass per unit volume of a material.
Elastic	When a material is able to return to it's original shape after forces are applied.
Elastic Limit	Point at which the material is no longer acting elastically but now plastically.
Hooke's Law	Extension of a material is directly proportional to the load applied until the limit of proportionality.
Hooke's Law Limit	Limit of proportionality, point at which a material stops acting elastically.
