A rubber band stretches and reverts back...

A rubber band stretches and reverts back to its original position. Bubble gum stretches but it would not return to its original position.
Is there anydifference between the two processes ? Discuss it with respect to plant growth (hint elasticity (reversibel) plasticity (irresversible)

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Concepts**: - **Elasticity** refers to the ability of a material to stretch and then return to its original shape once the force is removed. - **Plasticity**, on the other hand, is the ability of a material to undergo permanent deformation when a force is applied, meaning it does not return to its original shape. 2. **Examples**: - A **rubber band** is an example of an elastic material. When stretched, it can return to its original shape once the stretching force is removed. ...

Figure shows the relationship between tensile stress and strain for a typical material. Below proportional point A, stress is directly proportional to strain which means Young's moudulus (Y) is a constant. In this region the material obeys Hooke's law. Provided the strain is below the yield point 'B' the material returns to its original shape and size when the force is removed. Beyond the yield point, the material retains a permancnt deformation after the stress is removed. For stresses beyond the yeld point, the material exhibit plastic flow, which means that it continues to elongate for little increases in the stress. Beyond C a local constriction occurs. The material fractures at D (i.e. breaking point). The graph below shows the stress-strain curve for 4 different materials. Material which is good for making wires by stretching is

A boy stretches a stone against the rubber tape of a catapult or gulel (a device used to detach mangoes from the tree by boys in Indian villages) through a distance of 24 cm before leaving it. The tape returns to its normal position accelerating the stone over the stretched length. The stone leaves the gulel with a speed 2.2 m/s. Assuming that the acceleration is constant while the stone was being pushed by the tape, find its magnitude.
