is rubber band a solid.then why it changes its shape on streaching

yes rubber band is a solid ,it changes its shape when force is applied. if the force is removed it returns to its orignal shape . it breaks if excessive force is applied beyond a limit

as we know that solids have fixed shape but still rubber band is a solid because it changes its shape when some external force is applied to it.if the force is removed it gains its original shape.

 it is an exception

 There is always an exception in every case.therefore rubberband is an exception.

a rubber band changes shape under force and reganis the same shape when the force is removed. if excessive force is applied it breaks

true , i agree rubberband is asolid

RUBBERBAND IS NOT A SOLID!!!!!!!!!! IT IS A SUPER COOLED LIQUID!!!!!!!

Justification:

rubberband is as you know made of rubber and rubber is made of latex and latex is a liquid, te latex is basically supercooled and thus acquires some propeties of solid but it is a partial conversion of state of matter so as it can streach, it is considered a liquid which justifies the question.

I agree with all except prakhar...
rubberband is a solid...

  • -3

it is an solid and rubberband is know as elastics

  • -4

It changes its shape on stretching but regains its shape again.it shows the property of elasticity

Rubber band is not a solid! it has shape and it strectes it self and it come back to its orignal shape.This is called elasticity.

  • -5

it's not solid as you are telling. this is only a flexible.

A rubber Band while applied force streches and regains its original shape when the force is removed.When Extra Force is applied the Rubber Band Breaks.

A rubber Band while applied force streches and regains its original shape when the force is removed.When Extra Force is applied the Rubber Band Breaks

it is a physical change

  • -5

because it changes under action of force ( which stretches it ) and when the force is removed it comes to its original position.

  • -4

yes it definitely is a solid. but the question arises- why does it change its shape?
it is to be observed thast after changing, it retains back its position.

  • -2

rubberband is a solid .when we are applying force the shape of the rubberband changes and retains the shape when the force is removed.

  • -5

Yes, rubber band is a solid. When force is applied to it, it canges its shape but when force is removed then it regains its original shape. When excessive force is applied then it breaks.Such type of solids are called elastics.

  • -6

A rubber band is definitely a solid. The question is "why does it change its shape then?". I think that it is because of elasticity.

yes,rubber band is a solid. It change it shape when force is applied

it is a solid but has a property of streching

Rubber band changes its shape because it have a property to strech or its partical have space between them .

yes rubber band is a solid.bcoz it changes its shape only when force is applied.if force is removed it comes back to original shape.if more force is applied,it breaks.so it is a solid.

Rubber band is a solid as when we apply some external force it changes it's size but when the external force is removed it's getting back to it's original size
  • -1
It changes its shape due to force as it is an property of rubber. It regains its original shape after the force is removed. When excess force is applied it breaks.

When we hammer iron it changes its shape and size and this property is also applied with rubber band as when we stretch it , it changes its shape which is shown by maximum solids

rubber band can change its shape on stretching but it is a solid. This happens because pressure is applied on the band which makes it to change the shape and it gains its original shape when released. So, its a solid.
