In Southwest Pennsylvania, people often say 'gum band' meaning an elastic 'rubber band'.
In contrast, in Northeast Ohio, people say 'rubber band' and do not use the term 'gum band'. In fact, Ohioans are confused by the latter term.
What else can I help you with?
Is a rubber band a synonym for elastic strain?
yes.......................it is a stretchy elastic rubber band
Which of the following items is also called an elastic?
A rubber band is also called an elastic.
How elastic is a rubber band?
Rubber bands are very elastic. They demonstrate perfectly the property of elasticity. Some people even call rubber bands "elastics."
Is there energy in a rubber band?
If a rubber band is stretched, it has elastic energy.
Where did the expression 'gum band' meaning an elastic 'rubber band' come from in some areas of the US?
The expression gum band came from the state Pennsylvania.
Which object has elastic potential energy?
A stretched rubber band has elastic potential energy, which is stored when the rubber band is stretched and can be released when it is allowed to contract back to its original shape.
How can a rubber band model elastic energy?
You can treat the rubber band as a spring. Ve=1/2*k*x2Where Ve is the elastic potential energy stored in the rubber band, k is the spring constant for the rubber band (can be calculated experimentally), and x is the distance the rubber band is stretched.
What would you need to do to a rubber band to increase its elastic potential energy?
Stretch the rubber band.
When you wind a rubber band on a toy airplane types of energy does the rubber band have?
Elastic Potential energy
What rhymes with great rubber band?
fantastic elastic
What is rubber band energy?
Elastic potential energy
What is one way you can increase the elastic potential energy of a rubber band?
You can increase the elastic potential energy of a rubber band by stretching it further from its natural length. This will cause the rubber band to store more potential energy as elastic potential energy increases with the amount of stretch applied.
