When a rubber band is stretched, it deforms and stores elastic potential energy. Once released, it returns to its original shape, converting the stored energy back into kinetic energy. Over time, repeated stretching can cause the rubber band to weaken, lose elasticity, or even break due to material fatigue. Environmental factors like heat, humidity, and UV exposure can also affect its longevity and performance.
