If a pulling force is exerted on an elastic band then it .?

If a pulling force is exerted on an elastic band, then the elastic band will stretch. The more force that is exerted, the more the band will stretch.


What is also called elastic energy?

Elastic energy is also called Elastic Potential energy. It is the potential energy stored as a result of a deformation of an elastic object such as a spring. According to Hooke's law the force required to stretch the spring will be directly proportional to the amount of stretch.


What force makes an elastic band stretch?

the weight


What kind of force do your muscles exert on an elastic band when you stretch it?

Strain force


What happens to a spring's force if you stretch it?

It may loose its elastic nature.


What was the force that the spring exerted on the object?

Elastic Spring Force


What does the elastic fibers do?

Elastic solids stretch when pulled, get smaller when compressed/squeezed, and return to normal when no force is upon them.


What is tension force and compression force?

Tension forces are two forces acting on one object, moving in opposite directions (away from one another) to stretch the object. Compression forces are two forces acting on one object, moving in opposite directions (towards one another) to compress or deform the object.


A force needed to blank an object?

A force is needed to move an object.


Why does an elastic band stretch?

It goes further because as the band stretches, more force is built up on it. When you let go of it, the force suddenly releases, and because the more you stretch it, the more force is on it. Thus, the further you stretch the further you launch.


Why does an elastic band stretch if there is weight on it?

The force exerted by the weight exceeds the force of the elasticity that normally keeps the elastic band in a contracted state. As the band stretches, the resistance increases to the point where it is equal to the force exerted by the weight.


What happens to a springs force if you stretch it more?

It may loose its elastic nature.
