Rubber bands are very elastic. They demonstrate perfectly the property of elasticity. Some people even call rubber bands "elastics."
yes.......................it is a stretchy elastic rubber band
A rubber band is also called an elastic.
If a rubber band is stretched, it has elastic energy.
A stretched rubber band has elastic potential energy, which is stored when the rubber band is stretched and can be released when it is allowed to contract back to its original shape.
You can treat the rubber band as a spring. Ve=1/2*k*x2Where Ve is the elastic potential energy stored in the rubber band, k is the spring constant for the rubber band (can be calculated experimentally), and x is the distance the rubber band is stretched.
Stretch the rubber band.

fantastic elastic
You can increase the elastic potential energy of a rubber band by stretching it further from its natural length. This will cause the rubber band to store more potential energy as elastic potential energy increases with the amount of stretch applied.
The rubber band would stretch and elongate as the weight pulls on it, storing elastic potential energy. If the weight is too heavy, the rubber band may reach its elastic limit and eventually break.
A thinner rubber band has more elastic potential energy when stretched compared to a thicker rubber band because the thinner rubber band stores more energy per unit length due to its greater stretching capacity and elasticity.
