The only downside to rubber tracks is that they can only carry vechilcles up to 30 tons.
Many toy train tracks are made out of wood, which is typically safe as long as they don't have sharp edges. Some are made with rubber, but they are less common. If you are referring to the electric train sets for kids (and adults), they use metal tracks that connect together and power the trains through its metal wheels. Non-electric toy trains may have wood, plastic, or rubber tracks.
Caterpillar tracks are knobbly strips of metal or rubber, which wrap around the wheels of tanks, bulldozers and other off road vehicles. They stop the wheels from getting stuck in muddy or sandy ground. This is a very helpful technique.
Rub my metal balls or rubber balls.
It might catch on fire because rubber is a good conductor of heat and metal isn't!
Yes. Train tracks are metal because if they were wooden such fast moving train wheels will cause friction on the wooden tracks, setting them on fire.
metal is a conductor and rubber is an insulator
yes, you can buy metal rubber at your local wal-mart
Yes it is. Rubber can be bend wherelse the metal cannot!
Electric wires are made out of metal, typically copper or aluminum, because metals are good conductors of electricity. Rubber is an insulator, which means it does not allow electricity to flow through it easily. Using metal wires ensures efficient transmission of electricity while minimizing energy loss due to resistance.
Yes, metal plates are generally heavier than rubber.
The tire is predominantly rubber, which is non-metal.
