Why does a rubber band warm when you stretch it repeatedly?
The rubber band becomes warm because of friction. if you ever listen to school you would have known that.
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.
How is a rubber band stretchy if it is rubber?
a rubber band is still rubber because if u stretch it it wont change
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.
What would you need to do to a rubber band to increase its elastic potential energy?
Stretch the rubber band.
Why does the rubber band stretch before it breaks?
Rubber bands stretch because of the latex in them and because they are elasticey.
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.
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
How can you make different sounds with the rubber bands?
Stretch a rubber band at different lengths
What two forces are acting on a plasticine ball on a forcemeter?
Pulling forces and rubber bands- Slowly stretch a rubber band and think about what you are doing. Most people use two hands placed at opposite ends of the rubber band and pull with each hand away from each other. This means there are two pulling forces acting on the rubber band in opposite directions. Now try to stretch the rubber band by using one hand and by grabbing the rubber band at only one place. We know it's possible to stretch the rubber band with one hand using your thumb and finger at two different places but can you figure out a way to stretch the rubber band by applying the force at only one place? If you hooked the rubber band over something to stretch it, is there only one force acting at only one place
