Elastomers can extend upto
five times their original dimensions
seven times their original dimensions
ten times their original dimensions
three times their original dimensions.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Elastomers are a type of polymer that are known for their ability to stretch and deform under stress and then return to their original shape when the stress is removed. This property, called elasticity, is what gives elastomers their name. Elastomers can stretch to great lengths, often up to ten times their original dimensions, without breaking or permanently deforming. This makes them useful in a variety of applications, such as seals, gaskets, and shock absorbers, where a flexible and durable material is needed.

The elastomer can stretch more than two times of their original dimension it means the answer should be three times.

Rubber band is an example of Elastomers. Rubber band could be stretched long absolutely 10 times.

An elastomeric material is any material exhibiting elastic or rubber-like properties.

How will you say that elastomers extend upto ten times of its initial state?

Ramya(iikgp) said:   1 decade ago
Just you cut elastic band, make a tension force, & analyze yourself.

Can any one explain briefly about elastomers and its applications in?

Mirza said:   3 years ago
I think It can be extended three times from its original dimension.
