The way to think of the elasticity is in terms of entropy which is basically a measure of disorder.
Rubber band elasticity and temperature conclusion.
Kimberley answer yes a rubber band will actually become softer or easier to stretch when the temperature gets colder.
When the rubber bands were removed from their apparatuses a measurement was taken pre stretching.
1 take out rubber band from the box and group them into threes for three trials at each temperature.
One measures the stiffness by changing the force while.
Method materials procedure diagram.
The heated rubber bands were the most elastic.
Does cold temperature affect the elasticity of a rubber band.
Allow the rubber band to stretch for three minutes at room temperature.
Perform multiple trials with rubber bands at different initial temperatures.
When the rubber bands were attached to the flags the total circumference of the rubber bands then became 0 30 m 0.
Stretching to the farthest extends of 17 90 o o5 cm 100 c.
Rubber 1 was not as slack as thin and had a smaller circumference than rubber 2.
Record your data in your notebook.
Use a spring scale to measure the maximum force that a rubber band can withstand before breaking.
How does the rubber band feel now.
The hypothesis was supported by our experiment.
This activity brought to you in partnership with science buddies.
3 take one rubber band from the three and cut it at a point.
For each temperature we collected data for two colored rubber bands and two natural rubber bands.
40 m and 0.
2 place the first three rubber bands in a room temperature for 10 minutes.
Introduction background statement of the problem hypothesis.
The effect of temperature on the.
Five shots with.
Now put the shoebox into the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Do you think that the force required to break a rubber band will change with temperature.
Elasticity of a rubber band.
This will be the main temperature for the experiment.
The rubber bands in freezing water were the opposite with a stretching length of 9 50 o o5 cm 0 c.
50 m and the increase in length of the rubber band was different dependent on which rubber band was used see table.
Put another way since you re asking about elasticity in the context of a hot and a cold rubber band loaded by the same weight i should emphasize that one can t directly measure a system s stiffness by keeping the force constant and observing the displacement when changing other things.
Then measure the length of the rubber band with the ruler.
The rubber bands were suspended from a secured pencil and 400g of weight were hung from the pencil.
Effect of temperature on the elasticity of a rubber band table.
