As far as I know, elastic distortion (or elastic deformation or temporary distortion) is the case when an object is deformed by virtue of a cause and after the cause is removed, it regains its original shape in a finite amount of time. If it fails to attain its original shape in finite amount of time or takes infinite time it becomes plastic or permanent distortion.
Inelastic materials, simply put, are non elastic materials. They do not show a fixed trend of deformation vs applied force; in fact, they might not deform at all (rigid materials) or the deformation observed is not completely recoverable; on removal of the applied force, the material doesn't return to its original shape, but to a permanent deformed shape. Such materials are called Plastic materials.
A typical material like steel shows all these forms under different conditions of loading (applied force). For extremely low magnitudes of forces, it is practically rigid. Increasing magnitudes of force show a linear elastic response, while further increase show a non-linear, plastic response, till rupture occurs when the material breaks.

Required
Determine the distance at which the lighting struck
First, we need to determine the speed at which the lighting struck because the peed of sound varies with temperature.
At about 28C, the speed of sound is 346m/s
So, we have the following:


Distance is calculated as thus:



Divide by 1000 to get distance equivalent in kilometers

Answer:
The potential energy when it reads 40 N is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The lowest reading of the spring balance is 0 N and this is at 0 cm = 0 m
The height reading of the spring balance is 60 N and this is at 20 cm = 0.20 m
Generally the length corresponding to the reading of 40 N is mathematically represented as

=> 
Generally the potential energy is mathematically represented as

Here
So

=> 
Answer:
In animations, usually the sizes of the objects are does not appear to be right because they are made to show the basic features and what's generally happening in the above mentioned case. These inaccuracies are consciously made for the better understanding of the audience. So following are the inaccuracies,
B.The astronaut is too big compared to the moon.
D.The moon is too big compared to its orbit.
F.The moon is too big compared to earth.
