Yes it does. But not always
Hi there!
The answer would be B. the slope of the plane.
Changing the slope of the plane would show how fast the ball went when Galileo changed the steepness of the slope. If he didn’t change the slopes steepness he would have the same results each time.
Hope this helps !
Answer:
B. Axial stress divided by axial strain
Explanation:
Elasticity:
It is the tendency of an object to deform along the axis when an opposing force is applied without facing permanent change in shape.
Plasticity:
When an object crosses the elasticity limit, it enters plasticity where the change due to stress is permanent and the object might even break.
Yield strength:
Yield strength is the point of maximum bearable stress that indicates the limit of elasticity.
Our case:
As the stress applied is less than the yield strength, the rod is still in the elasticity state and its modulus can be calculated.
Modulus of Elasticity = Stress along axis/Ratio of change in length to original length
Axial strain is basically the ratio of change in length to original length.
So, Modulus of Elasticity = Axial Stress/ Axial Strain
