Question

A rubber band can change its shape on stretching. Will you classify it as solid or not? Justify?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes it is a solid

Explanation:

Rubber has a property of elasticity thus it stretches but it is able to hold itself together so it is a solid.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, it can be classified as a solid. It is an elastic solid which changes its shape on stretching and regains the same when the stretching force is removed.

Explanation:

There remains no doubt that a rubber band is a solid.

Due to appreciable elasticity feature, it gets extended when stretched.

Also, it holds the ability to return back to its original state when relieved. Solids with appreciable elasticity hold the ability to return back to its original shape and get extended when stretched.
