Explain what is meant by the elastic limit of a spring.

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.

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.

Elastic limit is the maximum extent to which a solid may be stretched without permanent alteration of size or shape. Elastic limit, maximum stress or force per unit area within a solid material that can arise before the onset of permanent deformation. When stresses up to the elastic limit are removed, the material resumes its original size and shape.

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
