FORCES AND DISTORTIONS

Forces can distort some objects temporaly or permanently.

Elastic objects, such as a spring, return to their original shape when the force stops acting upon them. They are distorted temporaly.

Non-elastic objects, such as a piece of plasticine, remain permanently distorted when the force has stopped.
