The reason why a stretched string is not a line because it's consists of two finite points. Point "A" and Point "B'. While having two points defines a line, a string is only as finite as it's length. A true line is infinite.
If your hand holds a string and stretches it, you've actually made a line segment because it has two end points and does not extend infinitely in either direction (it ends at your fingers or points).

Can you explain line symmetry?
do it yourself, think !
What is the difference between a point and a line and a plane?
explain the differences between a point and a line and a plant
Are points that are collinear also coplanar explain?
Points that are collinear will be located on the same line. A line is a subset of a plane. Therefore, Yes, points that are collinear will be located on the same plane.
Can a line segment have two midpoints Explain your answer?
No, it can only have one midpoint, because if it had two midpoints, then there would be two line segments! Also, if you add two midpoints, then thus creating another segment.
How do you find the perimeter of a jigsaw puzzle using string?
You can find the perimeter of any planar (flat) object using string by wrapping the string around the outside of the object, noting the point on the string where you return to the starting point, and then measuring the length of that portion of the string.
Why shouldn't string stretch?
a line is a set of infinite points. a stretched string is finite.
When a stretched string is released the potential energy in the string is converted to?
kinetic energy
When a stretched string is released the potential energy in the string is converted?
kinetic energy
When a stretched string is released the potential energy in the string is converted to .?
Kinetic energy and then to heat.
When a stretched string is released the potential energy in the string is convrted?
Into movement, i.e., kinetic energy.
How many dimensions does a string have when stretched out?
In reality 3, since it will always have a thickless - no matter how small. However, it may be approximated by a 1-dimensional line segment.
Is the classification for an instrument that produces sound by vibrating a string or string stretched between two points?
Chordophone
What is a kind off wave produced in stretched string?
the wave produced in a stretched string will be a standing wave .it will have a node and antinode.node means point with zero displacement and antinode means point with maximum displacement
Law of vibrating strings?
The law of vibrating strings is the vibrational mode of a string that is stretched. The wavelength is twice the length of the string.
Is it possible to have a longitudinal wave in stretched string?
yes, Its possible to have a longitudinal wave on a stretched string by stroking it along its length by a rosined cloth. However, in the wave motion of a stretched string ( tant string with fixed ends) wave (disturbance) produced at one fixed end travels along the length of the string and get reflected back at the other end. Since the original wave and the reflected wave have the same frequency and amplitude, they superimpose to produce stationary transverse disturbance.
Why The tension in any part of the string is equal to the force that pulls the string at the ends?
unless the string is broken up,the force of pulling will be applied along the continuous part of the string when the string is in full stretched condition.
Is the classification for an instrument that produces sound when a string of strings stretched between?
Your answer will be "Chordophone".
