Saksham Saxena answered this

steel is more elastic than rubber because E of steel is more that that of rubber. it means that slope of stain- stress curve of steel is more that slope of strain- stress curve of rubber. steel has large straight line portion ie limit of proportionality.

Kartiki answered this

young modulus is inversely proportional to change in length.

Y=MgL/Al

When same mass is suspended to steel wire and rubber wire of same dimensions, then the change in length for rubber will be more compared to steel.

Hence young modulus of steel is greater than that of rubber.

Ria Sarkar answered this

because youngs modulus of steel is greater than steel

Akanksha Parmar answered this

because young's modulus of steel and rubber are in ratio change in length of rubber to change in length of steel and we know that on applying same force rubber will face more extension i.e lr>ls so Ys>Yr and the substance whose youngs modulus of elasticity is more elastic

for same applied force rubber produce more strain than steel.so steel is more elastic than rubber.

hope i helped u.

P J Sudharshan answered this

In physics the elasticity of a material is measured in terms of modulus of elasticity or Young’s modulus.

Y = stress/strain = (F/A)/(∆l/l)

In case of a steel wire a large force F will produce a small extension. Where as in a rubber band a small force will produce a large extension. So, steel has a higher value of Young’s modulus than rubber. Thus, steel is more elastic then rubber.

Khushi answered this

why steel more elastic than rubber

Angel Pearl answered this

steel is more elastic than rubber because the strain produced by steel is less compared to that by rubber for a given force
therefor, the modulus of elasticity is more for steel.

Yugam Partap Bansal answered this

elasticity does not mean that how much the body will deform.
elasticity means that the amount of force applied by the body when we try to deform it.
or it simply means the greater the opposing force greater is the elasticity.
in this case steel provides much opposing force than rubber
so it is more elastic

Rahul Maheshwari answered this

The molecules of steel are more tightly packed than rubber and so it doesn't expand too much and even after little expansion,it comes back to its original state very fast.

steel has greater young modulus as compared to plastic

Vinay answered this

Steel is more elastic than rubber because more deforming force is required to change it's shape compared to rubber

Abhi answered this

A weight of 20kg is suspended from a wire. The area of cross-section of the wire is 1mm and when stretched, the length is exactly 6m. When the weight is removed, the length reduces to 5.995m. Calculate the young's modulus (y) of the material of the wire

Balram Verma answered this

steel is more elastic than rubber as rubber come back to its original position after stretching,but after this there is some looseness or u can say it becomes loose but in case of steel even after very frequent stretching it don't become loose.

Daniel answered this

steel is more elastic then rubber beacuse of its elasticity tendency .since, steeel is strong and not so flexible as rubber

Anjali Pateriya answered this

because youngs modulus of steel is more than that of steel hence it requires larger force to extend and is therefore more elastic

Pianist answered this

Yes. Steel is more elastic than rubber but only on atomic level. We cannot see elasticity in steel by naked eyes so in day to day life, it is put under plasticity but on atomic level, it is highly elastic

Jatin answered this

Elasticity is the property of a material by virtue of which it returns to its original dimensions instantaneously during unloading.

So, as per definition, steel is more elastic than Rubber because after/during unloading steel takes lesser time than Rubber to regain it's original shape.

Subhasri Manigandan answered this

It is because the Young's Modulus is greater for Steel. so for a given stress a small strain occurs in the body

Ayesha answered this

steel is more elastic than rubber because steel comes back to its original shape faster than rubber

Khgcdcdsbcjh answered this

According to Hooke law,
stress is directly proportional to strain and stress divided by strain gives E.
therefore as stress increase ,E increase s and thus elasticity increase s.Hence the reason

Rick Sen answered this

Elasticity is basically the ability to oppose the deformation occurred due to an external force.As the ability of steel to resist deformation is more than that of rubber, so steel is more elastic than rubber.

Abhirupa Basak answered this

This is will be perfect answer in exam point of view . I hope it will help u to score good marks

Dejaswini answered this

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 asmore elastic if it can be stretched more than others.

Deepak answered this

Steel is more elastic than rubber because when we stretch steel it comes fastly in its original configuration than rubber

Soumyadeep Das answered this

Steel is more elastic than rubber coz steel comes back to its original shape faster than rubber when the deforming forces are removed

Tuhin answered this

When large force is applied,both steel and rubber gets elongated.Rubber elongates more compared to steel,on removing the force,steel regains its original shape but rubber suffer pwrmanent deformation.Hence steel is more elastic than rubber.

Jatin Bhardwaj answered this

What a question

Mahesh answered this

why are heavy materials used in the construction of bridges

Richa Verma answered this

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 physics defines elasticity as "resistance to change". ... 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.

Suneeb Mishra answered this

steel is more elastic than rubber because elongation of rubber is more than that of steel so young modulus of steel is more than the rubber.
so this is the reason.
hope it is helpful

Shampa Nath answered this

Let, a force F applied on a rubber and steel of equal length L and let A be the area of cross section
Therefore, elasticity of a rubber is
Y1=F/A/l1/L. [ Where l1 is the change in length of the rubber due to force F]
And that of steel is
Y2=F/A/l2/L
As l1>l2
Therefore Y1i.e, elasticity of steel is more than that of rubber

Deep answered this

The elasticity of the material is dependent on distance between points D and E on the stress-strain curve(fig 9.3 in NCERT PHYSICS T.B). Rubber is an elastomer and the strain is large for it for small stress(fig 9.4). While in steel not long distance between the points and so RUBBER IS MORE ELASTIC THAN STEEL.

Cheers!!

Kunj Shah answered this

Steel is more elastic as compared to rubber because for the same amount of force on both steel and rubber, it is steel that can withstand more force and regain it's shape as it has a higher value of Young's Modulus.

Indranil Saha answered this

I hope the solution helps!!

Vinay answered this

Yes steel has better tendency to oppose force
And regain its shape on subjected to a force to a certain elastic limit

Sourav Khilari answered this

In physics the elasticity of a material is measured in terms of modulus of elasticity or Young?s modulus.
Y = stress/strain = (F/A)/(?l/l)
In case of a steel wire a large force F will produce a small extension. Where as in a rubber band a small force will produce a large extension. So, steel has a higher value of Young?s modulus than rubber. Thus, steel is more elastic then rubber.

Maseera Sarvar answered this

When the external forces are removed
Steel comes back to its original shape faster than the rubber (Young's modulus of steel is more than the Young's modulus of rubber).

Example :
Consider 2 rods of steel and rubber, each of length 'l' and area of cross section 'A' . If they are subjected to the same deforming force 'F' then ?ls produced in the steel rod will be less than the extension ?lr in the rubber rod i.e, ?ls Ys =F / A ? l / ?ls
and
Ys=F / A ? l / ?lr
:- Ys / Yr = ?ls / ?lr
So ?ls Ys >Yr

Hence young's modulus of steel is greater than the young's modulus of rubber. Therefore the steel is more elastic than rubber.

Sushil P. Sudheer answered this

Steel is more elastic than rubber as steel wire requires more force to produce certain extensions. To produce unit extension in 2 identical wires the steel needs greater deforming force.

Karishma answered this

Steel has more elastic than rubber

Syed Faisal answered this

Because of its large Young's Modulus.

Pori answered this

Elasticity is measured as ratio of stress to strain . For a given stress strain is much smaller is steel than in rubber and hence the answer....

Lakshmishree. R answered this

Value of young's modulus of steel=2?10 to the power of 11 GPa
Value of young's modulus of rubber= 0.05Pa.
The value of young's modulus of steel is much larger than that of rubber therefore steel is more elastic than rubber

Hari Sankar Muni answered this

steel is more elastic than rubber because E of steel is more that that of rubber. it means that slope of stain- stress curve of steel is more that slope of strain- stress curve of rubber. steel has large straight line portion ie limit of proportionality.

Ayush Kumar answered this

steel is more elastic than rubber because greater deforming force requried to change the shape more is elastic!! (:

Karabi Sen answered this

Steel is better elastic than rubber. If an equal force is applied to both steel and rubber, the steel produces less strain. So , the Young's modulus is higher for steel than rubber. The object which has higher Young's modulus is more elastic.

I think it will help you ??

Kajal answered this

The strain produced in rubber is much larger compared to that in steel. This means that steel has a larger value of Young's modulus of elasticity and hence, steel has more elasticity than rubber.
