A rubber band will , approximately, stretch an amount "x" in direct proportion to the force "F" applied to it. So you can write this as an equation, F = KX . To find the proportionality constant "K" , hang a known weight "W" from the rubber band and measure the stretch "L". then divide W/L = K . This is called "calibrating" the rubber band.

What bounces better hard or soft rubber band ball?
you want a soft rubber band ball with strechy rubber bands,but you also want to be carefull that you dont make it to big and to small
What do you get when you cross a mathmatician with a rubber band?
an equation
How will you measure the buoyant force of a balloon?
Measure how much it can lift.
What Is a sentence for lengthen?
Stretching the rubber band would lengthen it. It is the sentence containing the lengthen word.
How do you convert pounds to newtons of force?
You cannot. A pound is a measure of mass while a newton is a measure of force, The two measure different things and conversion from one to another is not generally valid.
A rubber band slingshot shoots a 25g stone What is the initial speed of a stone if the rubber band is drawn back 0.15m with a force of 27N?
This is hard to measure because you need to know the rebound of the rubber band and the force pushing against it, e.g. if you were under water the force will be different.
What is the force applied when you stretch a rubber band between your thumb and forefinger?
The force that is applied when you stretch a rubber band between your thumb and forefinger is pushing force. Pulling force is achieved when you stretch the rubber band with one hand by pulling it away from a surface where it is attached.
How much does a rubber band measure?
1 gram
Can you predict the force needed to stretch the rubber band to 40.0cmwhy or why not?
No. You also need to know the properties of the rubber band - specifically, how much it stretches for every unit of force applied.
When you stretch a rubber band why does it hit back and pain?
when we stretch rubber band we apply a force on it and this force is stored in the band in form of potential energy and when we release our hand potential energy converts into kinetic energy an thus hits our hand with greater force.
What force applied when stretching a rubber band?
Elastic potential energy.
What kind of stress are you applying when you stretch a rubber band?
moving force
Can rubber be regarded as solid?
a rubber band changes shape under force and regains the same shape when the force is removed.if excessive force is applied it breaks therefore yes
What kind of force does a rubber band possess?
It contains the force of many fallen Jedi. RIP obi wan.
If you shoot a rubber band how far will it go?
It depends on the rubber band if is a small rubber band then it will go about 20'and if it is an bigger rubber band then it will go about 35' but it depends on the rubber band and the way you shoot the rubber band
What two forces are acting on a plasticine ball on a forcemeter?
Pulling forces and rubber bands- Slowly stretch a rubber band and think about what you are doing. Most people use two hands placed at opposite ends of the rubber band and pull with each hand away from each other. This means there are two pulling forces acting on the rubber band in opposite directions. Now try to stretch the rubber band by using one hand and by grabbing the rubber band at only one place. We know it's possible to stretch the rubber band with one hand using your thumb and finger at two different places but can you figure out a way to stretch the rubber band by applying the force at only one place? If you hooked the rubber band over something to stretch it, is there only one force acting at only one place
Which has more force of attraction an iron nail a piece of chalk and a rubber band?
an iron nail
