When a rubber band is exposed to heat it contracts heat, meaning that sucks up all the heat and becomes smaller.

Does heating up a rubber band make it more stretchy?
NO it actually does the opposite, rubber bands actually contrast in heat and expands in the cold holo this helps
Is rubber a good conductor of heat?
No because rubber is an insulator!
Can rubber keep heat out?
Rubber can not only keep heat OUT, it can also keep heat IN. It only depends on which side of it is initially at higher temperature. This property of rubber is the main reason that it is often used as a thermal insulator.
How does burning rubber create friction?
Burning rubber creates Friction because friction creates heat and burning is heat
What happens when a piece of glass is exposed to intense heat?
Heat will first cause the glass to expand, which normally shatters it from its frame. Even higher heat may cause it to melt (it is already an amorphous solid). Even higher heat (3000 degrees C) can cause it to vaporize.
How does exposing a rubber band to sunlight or chemicals or heat change its strength?

Does temperature affect the elasticity of a rubber band'?
no it does not change the elasticty if any thing it makes the rubber band smaller.What effect does heat have on the elasticity of rubber?That is not an easy question to answer but the heat stretches the rubber band because the molecules have to arrange or move themselves around. When a rubber band isn't being stretched the molecules are in a srtaight line.
Will a light bulb burn or melt a rubber band?
It depends upon the wattage of the light bulb. The lower the bulb wattage the lower the heat generated by the bulb. A 100 watt bulb should generate enough heat to destroy a 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 happens when a camera is exposed to sunlight for an extended period of time?
If it is exposed to sunlight while being in excessive heat it can damage the internals of the camera.
How do you make linear type heat detector?
PROJECT TITLE:Heat DetectorAim:To make a heat detector.Materials Required:1. Wooden box2. Cardboard piece3. Rubber band4. PinProcedure:Stretch a rubber band around the sides of a wooden box. Then cut out a arrow from the piece of cardboard and, mount it on a pin, and push the pin under the rubber band. If you now bring a burning match or candle close to the rubber band, the cardboard arrow will rotate anti-clockwise. Move the flame near the other end and the arrow rotates clockwise. The heat causes a portion of the band to contract, rotating the pin and arrow. This is because rubber contracts when heated and expands when cooled.
How does aluminum behave when exposed to heat?
when it is exposed to heat it melts
What happens to rock when the layers get pushed down and are exposed to high pressure and heat?
They melt. Coal turns to diamond.
How do you solder fly leads to LEDs?
Use a heat sink. Many LEDs are heat sensitive. I make a heat sink by putting a rubber band round the handles of a small pair of snipe nosed pliers.
How do you make galaxy pegasis fast and power-full?
By putting a rubber band on it's performance tip...heat its fusion wheel a little
What type of solid is rubber?
Rubber is a solid. If not my Wellingtons would flow or float away.
