Give reason why steel is more elastic than rubber?
DivyanshiJ:
thanks. Did you like the answer?
If yes, please support!! And give your suggestions
actually I didn't understand.
ohh! let me explain one more
comparing steel and rubber, steel comes back first as compared to rubber. So that's why
for mire explanation, you can read my answer
and what is the reason behind that
Bro it ia actually matter of interatomic and intermolecular forces . that's all
thank you
you welcome.

By this definition, steel is more elastic than rubber because steel comes back to its original shape faster than rubber when the deforming forces are removed. Elasticity In Physics And In Common Life: In common life we label a substance as more elastic if it can be stretched more than others.
What about intermolecular and interatomic forces?

If we ask this question to a kindergarten child, he will die of laughing,thinking that how steel can be more elastic than rubber! Not only that child but if we people in our childhood also had been asked the same question, we would have reacted the same(thinking that had steel been more elastic than rubber why aren’t we using steel hair bands or steel wrist bands instead of rubber ones ).
All I want to say that literal meaning of elasticity is misinterpreted all this time.
Actual definition of Elasticity:
The greater the resistance to change, the greater is the elasticity of the material and the faster it comes back to its original shape or configuration when the deforming force is removed. If this definition is followed then definitely steel will win the race of elasticity.
This confusion often occurs due to one prominent reason: the steel reaches plastic deformation "earlier" and it is intuitive to see that steel is "more prone" to fracture than rubber.
This can also be understood by simply applying your physics mind:
Just put some stress on your mind and start recalling the formula of elasticity ,you mugged up during exam nights. If u can’t, i may help you.
(Elasticity=stress/strain)
In words, Elasticity is measured as ratio of stress to strain. For a given stress (stretching force per unit area) strain is much smaller in steel than in rubber and hence the answer.
Expecting you can explain the kids and not become a laughing stock.
Hope my efforts helps you!!
Thanks for the amazing question.
