What forces do you use when you pull an elastic band?
When you pull an elastic band, you are applying a force called tension. This force comes from the stretching of the elastic band and is directed along the length of the band, trying to restore it to its original shape. Additionally, you may also be applying a force due to friction if the elastic band is rubbing against your hand or another surface.

What force makes an elastic band stretch?
The force that makes an elastic band stretch is called tension. When a force is applied to pull the ends of the elastic band apart, the band stretches due to the tension force acting within the material. This force is caused by the intermolecular bonds within the elastic material being stretched and is what allows the band to return to its original shape once the force is released.

How can you stretch elastic waistbands that are too tight?
The possibility of expanding an elastic waistband depends on a couple of things. First, does the rest of the garment fit (bust, hips)? Secondly, is the elastic in the waistband loose or sewn in place. If the elastic is loose, the process will be much easier: in the inside of the garment find a place where you can open the casing about 2"-3" so you can gain access to the elastic; pull out a loop of the elastic; secure the elastic on both sides of the opening with pins so the elastic doesn't slip back in the casing; cut the elastic; add a piece of elastic to expand your waistband, remembering to allow approximately 1/2" of overlap on both ends & sew securely; now you can remove the pins securing the elastic & allow the elastic to slip back into the casing; stitch the casing closed. However, if your waistband elastic is stitched in place all the way around, as is the case with many ready made garments, you will have to remove all the stitching first before adding more elastic, remembering to allow approximately 1/2" of overlap on both ends; carefully pin the elastic back in place and resew in place with an elastic stitch that will not break but stretch with the elastic.

Cut along the marked line, then fold down the raw edge to create a new waistband and secure it with a straight stitch or a zigzag stitch to prevent fraying. Finally, ensure the elastic is still intact and evenly distributed for a comfortable fit.

When sewing a waistband how do you determine how much elastic to use?
You use 1" more than the waist you're sewing for. This allows for a 1" overlap to sew the elastic together securely. Answer two: Per this entry from Threads Magazine online: The length of elastic should be shorter than the waist seam (after seams and darts are sewn). How much shorter depends on the combination of fabric, lining and elastic. On lightweight fabric with lightweight lining, use clear elastic, and pull the elastic gently as you sew it in place. If the fashion fabric is corduroy or cotton twill with a medium lining, use braided elastic, and stretch the elastic more as you sew it in place because heavy or firm fabrics put more pressure on the elastic. http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/3740/how-to-shop-for-elastic
