Here's why:
* Elasticity is the ability of a material to deform under stress and return to its original shape when the stress is removed. Think of a rubber band – it stretches when you pull it, but then snaps back to its original length.
Examples of elastic materials:
* Rubber
* Springs
* Steel (within its elastic limit)
* Some plastics
Important Note: Not all materials are perfectly elastic. There's a limit to how much stress a material can withstand before it permanently deforms (this is called the elastic limit). Beyond that limit, the material will become plastic and won't return to its original shape.
