A law in physics is a statement or mathematical equation describing a consistent and universal principle of nature. It is based on experimental observations and remains valid under specific conditions. Laws explain natural phenomena like motion energy or gravity and ...
Strain is the measure of deformation in a material due to applied stress. It is defined as the ratio of change in dimensions to the original dimensions. Strain is a dimensionless quantity and is classified into tensile strain compressive strain ...
Stress is the internal restoring force per unit area developed in a material when subjected to an external force. It quantifies the material’s ability to resist deformation. Stress is measured in Pascals (Pa) and can be categorized into tensile compressive ...
A mechanical spring-ball system demonstrates energy storage and transfer. The spring stores potential energy when compressed or stretched which is released to propel the ball. This principle is widely used in toys mechanical systems and energy-absorbing devices to convert stored ...
