Materials that undergo plastic deformation before breaking are called __________________?
Correct answer: B. Ductile
- A. Brittle
- B. Ductile
- C. Amorphous
- D. Polymers
Explanation
A ductile material can undergo substantial plastic deformation, meaning permanent deformation, before it fractures. The likely alternative is brittle, but brittle materials fracture with little or no plastic deformation.

About Work
Work is done when a force produces displacement, with its value determined by the component of force along the displacement. The topic covers positive, negative and zero work, work by variable forces from force-displacement graphs, and the connection between net work and change in kinetic energy.
