Is a rubber band being stretched and being broken kinetic energy changing to potential energy?
Not really. You are breaking it, so you are simply using your kinetic energy on it. However, using a rubber band like a slingshot is. While the rubber band is tight, it contains potential energy. You transferred your kinetic energy to it as potential energy. When you release the rubber band and it does work such as shooting a wad of paper, that is converting potential energy into kinetic.
What are the materials used to make a bouncy ball?
Tight Rubber
What is the insulator in a wet suit?
It is made out of tight rubber material and traps a thin layer of water next to a person's body which keeps them warm.
Why does a rubber band not go back to its original length after it has been stretched?
No easy way to answer this question (Or at least I can't) so read below: Rubber and Elasticity In most elastic materials, such as metals used in springs, the elastic behavior is caused by bond distortions. When force is applied, bond lengths deviate from the (minimum energy) equilibrium and strain energy is stored electrostatically. Rubber is often assumed to behave in the same way, but it turns out this is a poor description. Rubber is a curious material because, unlike metals, strain energy is stored thermally, as well as electrostatically. In its relaxed state rubber consists of long, coiled-up polymer chains that are interlinked at a few points. Between a pair of links each monomer can rotate freely about its neighbour. This gives each section of chain leeway to assume a large number of geometries, like a very loose rope attached to a pair of fixed points. At room temperature rubber stores enough kinetic energy so that each section of chain oscillates chaotically, like the above piece of rope being shaken violently. When rubber is stretched the "loose pieces of rope" are taut and thus no longer able to oscillate. Their kinetic energy is given off as excess heat. Therefore, the entropy decreases when going from the relaxed to the stretched state, and it increases during relaxation. This change in entropy can also be explained by the fact that a tight section of chain can fold in fewer ways (W) than a loose section of chain, at a given temperature (nb. entropy is defined as S=k*ln(W)). Relaxation of a stretched rubber band is thus driven by an increase in entropy, and the force experienced is not electrostatic, rather it is a result of the thermal energy of the material being converted to kinetic energy. Rubber relaxation is endothermic. The material undergoes adiabatic cooling during contraction. This property of rubber can easily be verified by holding a stretched rubber band to your lips and relaxing it. Stretching of a rubber band is in some ways equivalent to the compression of an ideal gas, and relaxation in equivalent to its expansion. Note that a compressed gas also exhibits "elastic" properties, for instance inside an inflated car tire. The fact that stretching is equivalent to compression may seem somewhat counter-intuitive, but it makes sense if rubber is viewed as a one-dimensional gas. Stretching reduces the "space" available to each section of chain. Vulcanization of rubber creates more disulphide bonds between chains so it makes each free section of chain shorter. The result is that the chains tighten more quickly for a given length of strain. This increases the elastic force constant and makes rubber harder and less extendable.
Why rubber suckers sticks on smooth surfaces?
The sucker is dish shaped, when pressed against a smooth surface the air is forced from beneath the sucker.The rubber makes an air tight seal and the air pressure outside is greater than the air pressure beneath the sucker, thus forcing the rubber sucker to 'stick'.
Should a serpentine belt be loose or tight on a 1994 camaro?
it should be pretty tight, but no so tight that it stretches it
What synonyms of the ward taut?
tight, stretched, rigid
What type of bandage can be dangerous if it is stretched to tight?
There are four types of bandages used. They are tubular, crepe, roller and special bandages. The crepe bandage when stretched too tight will be dangerous.
What is the same meaning of taut?
The term "taut" can be synonymous with tight, tense, or stretched.

Why is rubber-band made of rubber?
A rubber-band is made out of rubber because rubber will make it hold things nice and tight.

Is rubber watertight?
Until it cracks, freezes, and breaks, yes, pure rubber is water-tight.
