How does the rubber band feel now.
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.
Effect of temperature on the elasticity of a rubber band table.
Elasticity of a rubber band.
The effect of temperature on the.
The hypothesis was supported by our experiment.
Now put the shoebox into the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
When the rubber bands were removed from their apparatuses a measurement was taken pre stretching.
40 m and 0.
3 take one rubber band from the three and cut it at a point.
The way to think of the elasticity is in terms of entropy which is basically a measure of disorder.
One measures the stiffness by changing the force while.
2 place the first three rubber bands in a room temperature for 10 minutes.
The rubber bands were suspended from a secured pencil and 400g of weight were hung from the pencil.
For each temperature we collected data for two colored rubber bands and two natural rubber bands.
Use a spring scale to measure the maximum force that a rubber band can withstand before breaking.
Anu rajendran lauren janes amanda hermens.
50 m and the increase in length of the rubber band was different dependent on which rubber band was used see table.
Perform multiple trials with rubber bands at different initial temperatures.
After 15 minutes remove the shoebox and measure the length of the rubber band again.
When the rubber bands were attached to the flags the total circumference of the rubber bands then became 0 30 m 0.
1 take out rubber band from the box and group them into threes for three trials at each temperature.
This will be the main temperature for the experiment.
Rubber 1 was not as slack as thin and had a smaller circumference than rubber 2.
Allow the rubber band to stretch for three minutes at room temperature.
Then measure the length of the rubber band with the ruler.
The heated rubber bands were the most elastic.
Do you think that the force required to break a rubber band will change with temperature.

The rubber bands in freezing water were the opposite with a stretching length of 9 50 o o5 cm 0 c.
This activity brought to you in partnership with science buddies.
Does cold temperature affect the elasticity of a rubber band.
Five shots with.
Introduction background statement of the problem hypothesis.
