Rubber Band Experiment Elasticity

When you pull a rubber band the molecules uncoil and align themselves closer together as they straighten out.

Rubber band experiment elasticity.

Energy is a great subject in science. The rubber in rubber bands is bound together by thousands of long chains of molecules that are coiled together something like a net. Next observe the 1000ml beaker and convert the distance the rubber band could stretch from ml to cm. Rubber band elasticity and temperature.

Materials scientist and engineer. Rubber elasticity refers to a property of crosslinked rubber. Elasticity of the rubber band is defined as the maximum length the rubber band stretches from its initial length when weight is placed on it.

Repeat the experiment this time figuring out a way to start with ice water and end with near boiling water. Science behind the experiment.

Rubber is a member of a larger class of materials called elastomers and it is difficult to overestimate their economic and. Place the rubber band flat on a table and mark two lines from where the rubber band s elasticity will be measured. It can demonstrate elasticity kinetic energy and potential energy and it great to use in some really cool experiments. Experiment 1 make a paper rocket.

Then measure the length of the rubber band within the marks just drawn. It can be stretched by up to a factor of 10 from its original length and when released returns very nearly to its original length. It covers so many things and i have many other aspects that i hope to share with you soon but one thing that explains energy so well is a simple rubber band. This activity brought to you in partnership with science buddies.

We believe that the elasticity of the rubber band is going to increase as the temperature increases in our experiment. This can be repeated many times with no apparent degradation to the rubber. For this experiment you will need a piece of paper.
