Rubber band elasticity and temperature conclusion.
40 m and 0.
Results table graph summary of results.
After 15 minutes remove the shoebox and measure the length of the rubber band again.
Effect of temperature on the elasticity of a rubber band table.
Introduction background statement of the problem hypothesis.
When the rubber bands were attached to the flags the total circumference of the rubber bands then became 0 30 m 0.
Five shots with.
Rubber band elasticity and temperature from science buddies science activities for all ages from science buddies.
2 place the first three rubber bands in a room temperature for 10 minutes.
Record your data in your notebook.
Stretching to the farthest extends of 17 90 o o5 cm 100 c.
Allow the rubber band to stretch for three minutes at room temperature.
50 m and the increase in length of the rubber band was different dependent on which rubber band was used see table.
This will be the main temperature for the experiment.
The effect of temperature on the.
1 take out rubber band from the box and group them into threes for three trials at each temperature.
When the rubber bands were removed from their apparatuses a measurement was taken pre stretching.
The hypothesis was supported by our experiment.
One measures the stiffness by changing the force while.
This activity brought to you in partnership with science buddies.
Perform multiple trials with rubber bands at different initial temperatures.
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.
Rubber 1 was not as slack as thin and had a smaller circumference than rubber 2.
How does the rubber band feel now.
Kimberley answer yes a rubber band will actually become softer or easier to stretch when the temperature gets colder.
3 take one rubber band from the three and cut it at a point.
The rubber bands in freezing water were the opposite with a stretching length of 9 50 o o5 cm 0 c.
Do you think that the force required to break a rubber band will change with temperature.
The heated rubber bands were the most elastic.
Elasticity of a rubber band.
The rubber bands were suspended from a secured pencil and 400g of weight were hung from the pencil.
Does cold temperature affect the elasticity of a rubber band.
The way to think of the elasticity is in terms of entropy which is basically a measure of disorder.
Then measure the length of the rubber band with the ruler.
Now put the shoebox into the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
