  • Understanding Tension: The Force of Pull and Stretch
    The force that happens when matter is pulled or stretched is called tension.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Tension is a type of force that acts along the length of a material, pulling its particles together.

    * When you pull on a rope, stretch a rubber band, or hang a weight from a wire, you're creating tension.

    * This force is internal to the material and acts in opposition to the applied force.

    * Tension can also be described as the force transmitted through a string, cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object.
