Elastic deformation past paper questions

O Level Physics 5054 · Forces. 1 Know that forces may produce a change in size and shape of an object 2 Define the spring constant as force per unit extension; recall and use the equation spring constant = force extension k = F x 3 Sketch, plot and interpret load–extension graphs for an elastic solid and describe the associated experimental procedures 4 Define and use the term ‘limit of proportionality’ for a load–extension graph and identify this point on the graph (an understanding of the elastic limit is not required)

In Cambridge O Level Physics 5054, Elastic deformation came up in 27 of the 72 papers on Paperstreak, for about 3 marks a paper when it does. It last came up in October/November 2025.
