Answer:
A
Explanation:
Which statement is true about rubber, a polymeric material?
A.) The normal rubber band will break when the strain is greater than 1. Because according to the srain formula,
Strain = extension / original length.
For strain to be greater than one, the extension must have been greater than the original length.
B.) A normal rubber band breaks when the strain is less than 10%. This is not true
C.When a small amount of sulfur is added, to provide cross-links between molecules in rubber, the elastic limit is reduced. Surfur increases the elastic limit
D.When a small amount of sulfur is added, to provide cross-links between molecules in rubber, the ultimate tensile stress is reduced. This is not true. Surfur increases the tensile stress of the elastic material
The correct answer is therefore A
