Rubber Band Stretch Quiz

What is the property of rubber bands that allows them to stretch and return to their original shape?

• Flexibility

• Durability

• Tensile strength

• Elasticity

As we add more mass to a rubber band, what happens to its stretch?

• increases

• becomes more elastic

• stays the same

• decreases

What are some factors that can affect the stretchiness of a rubber band?

• Temperature, age, and force applied

• Weight, sound, and taste

• Humidity, material, and smell

• Color, size, and shape

If we graph the stretch of a rubber band against the mass added, what type of relationship would we expect to see?

• Linear

• No relationship

• Inverse

• Exponential

True or False: The stretch of a rubber band is directly proportional to the mass added.

• True

• Partially true

• False

• Not enough information

What is the unit of measurement for the stretch of a rubber band?

• inches

• m

• cm

• mm

How does the thickness of a rubber band affect its stretch?

• Thicker rubber bands have more stretch.

• Thicker rubber bands have the same amount of stretch as thinner ones.

• The thickness of a rubber band does not affect its stretch.

• Thicker rubber bands have less stretch.

What happens to the stretch of a rubber band if it is stretched beyond its elastic limit?

• It becomes stronger and more durable.

• It becomes more elastic.

• It remains permanently stretched or may break.

• It returns to its original length.

What is the term used to describe the ability of a rubber band to return to its original shape after being stretched?

• flexibility

• pliability

• resilience

• elasticity

What is the purpose of conducting experiments to measure the stretch of rubber bands?

• To determine the taste of the rubber bands.

• To measure the temperature resistance of the rubber bands.

• To test the color of the rubber bands.

• To understand elasticity and determine strength and durability.
