How does the extension of a rubber band affect bungee jumping?
Well, if you extend a rubber band, after a while tension begins to build up and the rubber band wants to retract (return to its original shape), same principle with a bungee jump, the band is extended to it's limit and wants to return.
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
How does a rubber band stretched between two fingers make a sound?
When you stretch the rubber band it creates tension that is transferred into kinetic energy when you release it and so it moves and in moving it moves in turn the air around it and the air vibrates your ear drum creating a noise (it is a higher pitch if it is tighter because the rubber band is more tense so it moves the air faster thus the higher sound)
What would happen to a rubber band if weight is added to it?
It would stretch, and its tension would increase.
What energy is stored in a stretched rubber band?
If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. Latent energy. Potential energy

What is the type of stress in in stretched rubber band?
The answer is Tension
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.

What is the ultimate tensile stress of a rubber band?
You must hang weights from a rubberband until it snaps;then divide the total weight by twice the cross-sectional area of the rubber band. ThisÊwill be the Êtensile load of the rubber band.
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.

What would happen to a rubber band if weight is added to it?
It would stretch, and its tension would increase.
Does the width of a rubber band affect how far it will stretch?
Yes, the thinner the rubber band is the farther it will stretch, but if its too thin then it might just break.
If you shoot a rubber band how far will it go?
It depends on the rubber band if is a small rubber band then it will go about 20'and if it is an bigger rubber band then it will go about 35' but it depends on the rubber band and the way you shoot the rubber band
