Science teaches you how to shoot a rubber band more effectively . Researchers are now trying to know how to shoot a rubber band more effectively by applying sciene. Using high speed cameras they are studying the science of rubber band. Researchers have analyzed what happens to a rubber band when it’s launched from a thumb. The results offer some tips for how to make a clean shot. The researchers focused on one particular shooting technique: Elastic is slung around the raised thumb of one hand and pulled back with the fingers of the other hand. Standardizing the operation by using a cylinder rather than a thumb, the scientists filmed the details of the shooting process. When the rubber band is let loose, a release of tension in the band quickly travels toward the cylinder. Meanwhile, the band itself zings toward the cylinder at a slower speed than that tension release. Its the game of energies stored in it . There are actually two different kinds of energy...
