4 Ben places a rock in the middle of the rubber band. Then he pulls on the rock to stretch the rubber band. What will happen when Ben releases the rock? Energy from the stretched rubber band will cause the rock to shoot out. The rubber band and the rock will stay in the stretched position. Heat from the stretched rubber band will burn Ben's hand. D. The rubber band will break and the rock will fall onto the ground. 8. Tamika noticed water droplets on the outside of a glass of very cold water. Which of the following is the best explanation for what caused the droplets? Water leaked through the glass Water vapor in the air turned to solid on the outside of the glass.
