In Southwest Pennsylvania, people often say 'gum band' meaning an elastic 'rubber band'.
In contrast, in Northeast Ohio, people say 'rubber band' and do not use the term 'gum band'. In fact, Ohioans are confused by the latter term.
It is mostly the people of Pennsylvania who saying "gum band" to mean a rubber band. However, the people of Minnesota often use "rubber binder" to mean a rubber band.
yes.......................it is a stretchy elastic rubber band
Rubber bands are very elastic. They demonstrate perfectly the property of elasticity. Some people even call rubber bands "elastics."
If a rubber band is stretched, it has elastic energy.
The expression gum band came from the state Pennsylvania.
You can treat the rubber band as a spring. Ve=1/2*k*x2Where Ve is the elastic potential energy stored in the rubber band, k is the spring constant for the rubber band (can be calculated experimentally), and x is the distance the rubber band is stretched.
Stretch the rubber band.
a tightly packed spring, it will act like a rubber band from a rubber band gun when you let go. that is how i remember ELASTIC potential. rubber bands are like elastic.
Elastic Potential energy

fantastic elastic
its a rubber band used for hair
