Material Properties Quiz #1

What does a small shear modulus indicate about a material?

• The material is soft or flexible.

• The material is very dense.

• The material is highly conductive.

• The material is extremely hard.

What is Young's modulus of elasticity (E)?

• The ratio of stress to strain in tension

• The temperature at which a material melts

• The speed at which a material conducts electricity

• The pressure at which a material boils

What does a higher Young's modulus value indicate about a material?
