The property of the material due to which it regains its original shape or size when the load is removed is called:

The property of the material due to which it regains its original shape or size when the load is removed is called: Correct Answer Elasticity

CONCEPT:

Elasticity:

  • When an external force is applied to a rigid body there is a change in its length, volume (or) shape. When external forces are removed the body tends to regain its original shape and size.

  • Such a property of a body by virtue of which a body tends to regain its original shape (or) size when external forces are removed is called elasticity.

Plasticity:

  • Plasticity is the ability of a material to undergo permanent deformation.

​Viscosity:

  • The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation at a given rate.
  • Viscosity describes a fluid’s resistance to flow.

​EXPLANATION:

  • Elasticity is defined as the property of a body by virtue of which a body tends to regain its original shape (or) size when external forces are removed.
  • Hence, option 1 is correct.

Which of the following statement is true? A. Firmness: According to the type of matter, the size of a substance depends on the position of its particles. For example, solids have a fixed shape while liquids acquire their vessel shape and gases have no shape. B. Size: This is the property of a substance in which its volume decreases under high pressure. This property is found in gases.
Which of the following statement(s) is/are true? A. Shape: According to the type of matter, the shape changes depending on the location of the particles.
