Yes, the thinner the rubber band is the farther it will stretch, but if its too thin then it might just break.

Does the amount of stretch affect the distance a rubber band will travel what material do you need for that experiment?
Yes because you could stretch the rubber band long and it will go far but if you stretch short it will not go as far. the materials you need is rubber bands a tape measure or meter stick paper pencil
What is a good hypothesis for the question how will the stretch of the rubber band effect the potential energy created?
If the rubber band stretch increases, then the potential energy will increase. Or: If the rubber band stretch decreases, then the potential energy will decrease.
Will the potential energy be larger when you stretch a rubber band a lot?
Yes. When you stretch a rubber band you are "giving" it mechanical energy, like a rechargeable battery is given electricity. The more you stretch the rubber band the more mechanical energy you are storing in it.
Why does the rubber band stretch before it breaks?
Rubber bands stretch because of the latex in them and because they are elasticey.
Why does the mass affect to the stretch of a rubber band?
the heavier the mass the longer the extension of the rubber band, more mass is acting on it which means more gravity. This downward force acting on it causes it to extend further

Stretch a piece of rubber band The rubber band becomes?
compressed spring
How is a rubber band stretchy if it is rubber?
a rubber band is still rubber because if u stretch it it wont change
Why does the rubber band stretch before it breaks?
Rubber bands stretch because of the latex in them and because they are elasticey.
What would you need to do to a rubber band to increase its elastic potential energy?
Stretch the rubber band.

What is the force applied when you stretch a rubber band between your thumb and forefinger?
The force that is applied when you stretch a rubber band between your thumb and forefinger is pushing force. Pulling force is achieved when you stretch the rubber band with one hand by pulling it away from a surface where it is attached.
How far can a rubber band be stretched before it breaks?
This depends on the size of the rubber band, the materials and impurities in the rubber band, and the speed at which you stretch it, as well as the conditions that the rubber band has been under.
What energy when you stretch a rubber band?
potential energy
Does temperature affect the elasticity of a rubber band'?
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.
