1. Elasticity is a non-conservative property, meaning that energy is lost when a material is deformed and then returns to its original shape.

2. The human body is the most elastic structure known to exist. It can stretch up to 30% of its original length without causing any damage.

3. The longest elastic band in the world is 365 meters (1,197 feet) long and was made by the company Rubber Bandit in 2009.

How to Memorize "elasticity"

1. visualize
   

   - Imagine a rubber band. Pull it gently and release it. It snaps back to its original shape. This is elasticity.
   - Visualize a ball bouncing. Each time it hits the ground, it compresses and then bounces back up. This is elasticity in action.

2. associate
   

   - Associate elasticity with the ability to bounce back. Think of a rubber band or a ball.
   - Associate elasticity with the ability to stretch and return to its original shape. Think of a spring or a rubber band.

3. mnemonics
   

   - Elastic = able to bounce back, like a ball. Elasticity = the property that makes it so.
