If the stretching of a rubber band is too much, it can lead to the band losing its elasticity and eventually breaking. This is because the molecular structure of the rubber band becomes permanently deformed, affecting its ability to return to its original shape.

What would happen to a rubber band if weight is added to it?

If weight is added to a rubber band, it will stretch and elongate. The amount of stretch will depend on the elasticity and strength of the rubber band. Eventually, if too much weight is added, the rubber band may break.


What are the properties of rubber bands?

As rubber band is made up from rubber, it possess properties of rubber. main property of rubber is "ELASTICITY" i.e. whenever you stretched rubber or rubber band it gets stretched & when you released it, it will gain it's original size & shape again.


What force is exerted by rubber band?

The force exerted by a rubber band is called tension. This force occurs when the rubber band is stretched or pulled, causing it to resist and try to return to its original shape. The amount of force exerted depends on how much the rubber band is stretched.


How much does a rubber band measure?

1 gram


How do you replace a rubber band in a cassette player?

First take it apart to find the "rubber band" or where it was. Remove the broken pieces of the old band (normally called a drive belt)and install a suitable new rubber band. Actually, sometimes this will work for a while. Replacement drive belts are made of a sturdier material than a rubber band and will last longer with less stretching. Your new rubber band will have to provide enought tension to move the drive wheels but not be too tight as to put undue pressure on those components. Replacement belts are cheap but much too varied for shops to stock very many. Some factory inventory of belts degenerate into rubber blobs or pieces while waiting for a buyer. LOL


What is the Speed of rubber band when flung?

The speed of a rubber band when flung can vary depending on factors like how much force is applied and the elasticity of the rubber band. Typically, rubber bands can reach speeds between 15-30 miles per hour.


How much would one rubber band cost?

The cost of one rubber band is typically very low, usually just a few cents. It can vary depending on the brand and type of rubber band, but they are generally an inexpensive item to purchase.


How much energy does a rubber band produce when it is pulled back and release?

When it's released, the rubber band delivers almost as much energy as you had to produce in order to stretch it. The little bit that's missing is the energy that caused the rubber band to get warm as you stretched it.


How much do 50 rubber band aids weigh?

How much does 1 rubber band cost?

The cost of 1 rubber band can vary depending on the brand and quality. On average, a basic rubber band typically costs less than a cent when purchased in bulk. However, prices may vary if you're looking for specialty rubber bands.


Why do rubber bands last longer in the fridge?

This actually has to do with the very complex way a rubber band behaves. In all things, entropy is usually the boss, meaning, when things are at their most basic broken down state, they tend to last longer. And anything at a higher more complex state will tend to have a much shorter life span. Such is the same for a rubber band, when a rubber band is stretched it causes its polymer chains to become very ordered and it expels thermal energy (heat) thus shortening its life. But when a rubber band is in its relaxed state it is very unordered, and will cool when going from a structured state to a relaxed state. So when a rubber band is put in the refrigerator it makes the polymers even more relaxed, because of the way they behave in the cold. But something to be careful of is immediately stretching the rubber band after being in the fridge. This will cause it to weaken significantly because of the rapid change in the contrast of states.


Can you predict the force needed to stretch the rubber band to 40.0cmwhy or why not?

No. You also need to know the properties of the rubber band - specifically, how much it stretches for every unit of force applied.
