which is more elastic water or air and why?

 water is more elastic because the change in volume is less in case of water.So it has greater restoring force.

plz give me thumbs up........

 yes water is more elastic than air

Hey it is air as it can be expanded

Air is more elastic than water.Try to compress a balloon filled with water and then one filled with air. You can observe that air can be expanded more so it is more elastic.....

air has most elasticity because it is spread out to infinite extent but water has a limited easticity
hope u got ur answer :) :)

Air is more compressible than water . Further , volume elasticity is reciprocal of compressibility . Therefore , wateris more elastic than air.

Air molecules are very loosely packed in compared to that of water.

Water is more elastic because air is more compressible than water

Air has more elasticity because it speads everywhere

water .because it has greater restoring force as its change in volume is less

Yeah! As said by These Students Water is more elastic.

Water is more elasticity than air B'coz air is more compressible than water so it has less elasticity than water...

Air. since it is expanded to infinity volume.

We know the term?Bulk modulus of elasticitywhich is defined as the relative change in the volume of a body produced by a unit compressive or tensile stress acting uniformly over its surface and,

Compressibility of a substance?which is a measure of the relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure change.

The reciprocal of bulk modulus of elasticity is compressibility of a substance.

And, air is more compressible than water and so it has less elasticity than water.

Water is more elastic than air...because...water is incompressible....which leads..to greater elasticity...whereas air is compressible...which leads to smaller elasticity

Water is more elastic,because elasticity is not property of material due to which it deform quickly but ability to resist deforming force.

Water is more elastic than air because air is more compressible than water. We know that volumetric elasticity is reciprocal of compressibility; therefore, water is more elastic than air.

Water is more elastic beacuse if we spill the water on the surface it spreads all over

Water is more elastic than air.

Why?

We know the term Bulk modulus of elasticity which is defined as the relative change in the volume of a body produced by a unit compressive or tensile stress acting uniformly over its surface and,

Compressibility of a substance which is a measure of the relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure change.

The reciprocal of bulk modulus of elasticity is compressibility of a substance.

And, air is more compressible than water and so it has less elasticity than water!!!

Hopefully this answer helps you !!!!

Water  , just like steel is more elastic than rubber similarly water is more elastic than air .

Water is more elastic than air because air is more compressible than water. We know that volumetric elasticity is reciprocal of compressibility, therefore water is more elastic than air.

Dear friend,
Water is more elastic than air. This is because when we disturb the surface of water and air by the same force, the change in volume will be lesser in water, compared to that of air. This is due to the greater restoring force present in water than air.

Water is more elasticthan air .air can be easily compressed while water is incompressible and bulk modulus is reciprocal of compressibility
  • 0
elasticity is is the ability reform itself if we talk about water and air .air is more compressible and it reforming nature is higher than water so air have high elasticity than water
  • 1
Water is more elastic than the air because we know that the bulk modulus of elasticity is reciprocal of compressibility. So the answer is water is more elastic than air because it is less compressible than the air.
