Elasticity Investigation AIM In this experiment, we aim to investigate the stretchability of some materials when weights are attached to them. Certain wires/springs/elastic bands will stretch, and will go back to their shape and size, once the material has been let down. Other materials will stretch and then will not go back to their shape. This experiment can be used to simulate how car springs work. to give comfort as you drive along The springs mainly found in the suspensions of cars. These springs will need to be capable of being compressed and extended, several times, and then return back to their previous state in size and shape. The two forces that mainly affect the springs, is compression and extension [this force rarely occurs]. Compression is the weight of the car [which includes the occupants] Extension is due to the 'wheels up and down' energy not being transferred back to the body of...
