no it does not change the elasticty if any thing it makes the rubber band smaller.
What effect does heat have on the elasticity of rubber?That is not an easy question to answer but the heat stretches the rubber band because the molecules have to arrange or move themselves around. When a rubber band isn't being stretched the molecules are in a srtaight line.

∙ 9y agoAs with all things that expand when heated and contract when frozen, itÊis quite the opposite with rubber bands. When temperature is high, a rubber band is actually a bit difficult to stretch out. Expose the rubber band to a cooler temperature and it will become softer and easier to stretch.

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoLower temperature will increase its' elasticity
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoHeat does not affect it. It expands with coolness. It contracts with heat.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoyes it does colder rubber bands tent to have more elasticity
Wiki User
∙ 15y agofriction well the most obvious answer is that rubber bands get hot because they are rubber! rubber always gets hot when you rub it or stretch it
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoyes colder is less elastic than warmer

Is a rubber band insulator or conductor?
A rubber band is an insulator as it does not allow electrons to pss through it

How long does it take for heat to expand the length a rubber band stretches?
A relaxed rubber band seems like it should expand when heated but in fact it will contract due to the increase in the tension of the rubber band. The force of tension in a rubber band can be modeled by Hooke's Law:F = -kxwhere k the spring constant is directly proportional to the temperature. According to Hooke's law a stretched rubber band should have an increase in tension when heated. However a stretched rubber band cannot contract until its let go and by Hooke's law there is no tension on a relaxed spring so how can there can be any contraction? Well, tension is derived from the change in Entropy by heating the rubber band. Entropy is a way of measuring the amount of 'disorder' in a system. The rubber band can be looked as a string of molecules. So when the string is all laid out it is has low 'disorder'. If the string is all balled up it has high 'disorder'. So if rubber band is heated the Entropy increases which pulls the string of molecules into a ball. This increase the tension in a relaxed rubber band which causes it to contracts it.

Do cold effect elasticity of a rubberband?
Yes, temperature effects elasticity. At a constant temperature, and for elongations not too large, a rubber band obeys Hooke's Law. Means the temperature must be constant.an elastic will show more elasticity in cold & lesser in summer relatively. Heating the rubber molecules make them move around more. They become less aligned as a result and the rubber band SHRINKS. so finally it can be told that temperature matters in term of elasticity.
How much would a rubber band strectch on the moon?
The same as it does on earth. Low gravity does not affect elasticity
Does a higher grade of rubber band have more or less elasticity?
a rubber band has the same elasticity as any other, however in order to sustaine more elasticity, the best thing to do is put an elastic band in a fridge and leave it for the night. When you take the elastic band out, it will last for longer. Thus is scientifically proven
Does a thick or thin rubber band fly furthest when released?
a thin rubber band flies the furthest because it has more elasticity.
Why would a big rubber band ball bounce higher than a small rubber band ball?
it has more elasticity and potential energy
Why does a rubber band extend though it it is in solid state?
A rubber band can be stretched though it is in solid state because it approves the law of elasticity.
Examples of elastic materials?
Rubber Band and spring is an examples of elasticity materials
How do you investigate a factor that may affect the extension of a rubber band?
You can affect the extention of a rubber band by putting weights on it. The more weights you put on a rubber band the higher the extention will be.
How elastic is a rubber band?
Rubber bands are very elastic. They demonstrate perfectly the property of elasticity. Some people even call rubber bands "elastics."
Does cold weather affect a rubber band?
yes it does because from all the warm,hot,cold,rainy weather it does affect it if there was lighting it would shocked the rubber band to have cracks or marks or it can sometime pull out the rubber band
What goes back into its original shape after being stretched?
Elastic or Rubber
