How are vibrations different between bigger sizes rubber bands and smaller sized rubber bands?

Assuming the kind of vibration you are talking about is the kind where you stretch the rubber band between two points and then "twang" it, then the answer is fairly complex. What happens when you cause the vibrations to start is you make something called a "standing wave". In a standing wave, each particle in the rubber band has a certain amount of energy which causes it to move backwards and forwards, the particles with more energy have a larger "amplitude" (how much they move), and of course the particles with less energy have a smaller amplitude. Now a standing wave has two main components: The amplitude, and the frequency. The amplitude of the whole wave refers to the largest amplitude any particles has. The frequency refers to how often it takes for one of the particles to move between the two furthest away points it can be.
To compare rubber bands, you must remember to keep certain things constant. If you're looking at their vibrations, the amount of energy you use to "twang" the rubber band should be the same each time you twang it (which is the same as applying the same force each time you twang it).

A larger rubber band has more area over which to spread the energy, as well as it has more mass for the energy to move, so the vibrations will have smaller amplitudes, and smaller frequencies, overall vibrating less and with smaller vibrations.

What is the specific heat of titanium in j/(g⋅∘c) if it takes 89.7 j to raise the temperature of a 33.0 g block by 5.20 ∘c?
larisa [96]
Specific  heat  capacity  is  the  amount  of  energy  required  to  raise one  gram  of  substances by 1 degree  celsius .  Therefore  specific  heat  capacity  for  tatanium  is  89.7j /(  33.0g  x5.2 degree celsius) = 0.52j/g  degree celcius
Molar mass for tatanium   is  47.9 g/mole
heat  is  therefore 47.9  g/mole  x 0.52j/g  =24.9j/mole
