Investigating elastic bands in comparison with springs. Aim My aim is to try and find out whether there is any connection between the way rubber bands and springs stretch once weights have been added. Factors that may affect the experiment are: * The thickness of the band. * The length of the band. * The amount of weights added to the rubber band. * The temperature of the band and the room. In this experiment I will use the number of weights as my variable. Therefore, so that this is the only factor that affects my experiment, I will use the same elastic band each time to ensure that the thickness and length of the band will remain the same throughout my experiments. I will make sure that the room temperature is the same each time I do an experiment my using a thermometer to check the temperature. This should not be too much of a problem however,...
