Arrange rubber, steel and glass in the order of decreasing elasticity. (A) glass, steel, rubber (B) rubber, glass, steel (C) glass, rubber, steel (D) steel, glass, rubber

Short Answer

Expert verified
(B) rubber, steel, glass

Step by step solution

01

Define elasticity

Elasticity is the ability of a material to return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed. The greater the elasticity, the more the material can be stretched or compressed without being permanently deformed.
02

Compare the elasticity of rubber, steel, and glass

Rubber is highly elastic, which means it can stretch and return to its original size without permanent deformation. On the other hand, steel is less elastic than rubber but has greater strength. Glass is the least elastic of the three materials as it is brittle and can break easily under stress. Hence, the order of decreasing elasticity is: rubber, steel, and glass.
03

Match the correct option

Now that we have the order of elasticity as rubber > steel > glass, we can find the option which matches this arrangement. The correct option is: (B) rubber, glass, steel
