Elastic band investigation Aim: - to find out whether or not it is correct to call a rubber band elastic. Plan: - The factors affecting the elasticity of a rubber band are: * Downward force applied to the band * The type of rubber the band is made from. * The length of the band * Cross sectional area of band The variable I am going to investigate is the effect of weight on the rubber band. This is a continuous variable. I am going to measure the distance the rubber band has stretched after each amount of weight is placed on it. I am going to keep taking lengths until the band brakes. Pilot test: - To decide what amount of mass to step up in I am going to run a preliminary experiment. I am going to find the elastic limit of three rubber bands. To do this I added weights until the band snapped. Test Number...
