How does a clock use elastic energy?
A clock uses elastic energy by storing energy in a wound-up spring or elastic material. As the spring unwinds or the material stretches back to its original shape, it releases this stored energy to power the clock's movement, such as moving the hands or gears. This conversion of potential elastic energy into kinetic energy helps the clock keep time.
Decaying plant and animal material in soil is called what?
'Decomposition' for decaying plant and animal organic material. 'Detritus' for inorganic decaying material in soil. Hope this helps, John

What textile is in a bandage?
The textile which is used in a bandage may be a poly-amide material or a viscose material which has good absorbing properties and elastic properties. It helps in retaining the medicine and it is bio-degradable.

Why is it important that the arteries have elastic walls?
The elastic walls helps regulate blood pressure.
What is elastic recoil?
Elastic recoil refers to the ability of a stretched or deformed material to return to its original shape or size once the deforming force is removed. This phenomenon is commonly seen in elastic materials like rubber bands, blood vessels, and the lungs, where they can stretch and recoil back to their original state. In the case of the lungs, elastic recoil helps in exhaling air by effectively reducing the lung volume.
What is the energy stored in an elastic material?
The energy stored in an elastic material is called elastic potential energy. It is the energy that is stored when the material is deformed under stress and can be released when the material returns to its original shape. The amount of energy stored is proportional to the amount of deformation the material undergoes.
How does the elastic nature of plasma membrane help amoeba?
The elastic nature of plasma membranes helps amoebas in a few different ways, such as with movement. It also helps them engulf food.
Why plastics are not used for building bridges?
I will try to answer it as far as my knowledge in structural engineer goes: There are to main types of forces (besides winds, laterals, etc) that actuate in a bridge: tensile strenght and yield strenght. The first has to do with how much weight can a material handle by "squeezing" it, before it breaks. The second has to do with how much you can stretch a material before it deforms, and go back to its original shape. Basically how elastic a material is. Steel is extremely elastic and also can offer a high tensile strenght. Concrete offers tensile strenght but is not too elastic (unless it has rebaring inside). That's why most bridges are made of steel. A plastic material (oppose to elastic) would deform and won't go back to it's original shape. Hope it helps.
