Does the amount of weight suspended from a rubber band effect how far it streches?

Answer 1

Elastic substances usually extend or compress so that the amount of stretch or compression is proportional to the force, and clearly the speed of the rubber when released will depend on the force accelerating it. However there is a limit, called the elastic limit, to the extension and beyond that it will break

Answer 2

i dont think so, because it will change slightly. Every time you stretch the rubber band, depending what kind of mass, it might deform but might not be permanent deformation and the rubber band comes back into its original state, but there is a possibility that it might not else well come back to original form.

Answer 3

The thickness, or width, of the rubber band will determine how far it can stretch. If you have two bands of the same circumference, but different thicknesses, the thinner one will stretch further. This is because the thicker band has more crosslinks, causing the band to hold a stronger shape.

Answer 4

By stretching the band you are putting more stored energy into it, so when you release the tension there is more energy released, so the answer is yes.

Answer 5

it does because, if the rubber band is only a little bit hick it will stretch farther. if the rubber band is really thick it wont go as far because the band is thicker and harder to stretch.

Answer 6

No, the thickness does not affect how far it can stretch. I have proven this by doing an experiment at school.

Answer 7

yes obviously

Answer 8

Of course it does you idiot

Answer 9

yes
