Answer:

See Answer below- Explanation is the entire answer

Explanation:

Metals:

Properties: Ductile, good heat conductivity, good electrical conductivity, high strength;

Drawbacks: Relatively high weight, reactive with oxygen to create oxides- corrosion is presented;

Examples: steel, aluminum alloys, brass, copper, titanium

Applications: Body of the vehicles, structures in the skyscrapers, cooking pots.

Ceramics:

Properties: Brittle, poor heat conductors, poor electrical conductors, high wear resistance, corrosion resistance;

Drawbacks: Deforms by fracturing, shock resistance is low, no conductivity of electricity;

Examples: concrete, tungsten carbide, diamond

Applications: bricks for constructions, clay pots to keep heat, cutting tools for metals;

Glasses:

Properties: amorphous, transparent, high weight

Drawbacks: poor conductors of heat and electricity; brittle; low shock resistance;

Examples: Silica, lead glass, glaze;

Applications: windows, protection screens;

Polymers:

Properties: low density, recyclable, poor heat and electrical conductors, plastic deformation;

Drawbacks: low strength, low operating temperatures;

Examples: polyethylene, nylon, ABS-plastic, rubber;

Applications: toys, tires, insulation covers for the wires.

Composites:

Properties: high strength to weight ratio, can get combination of properties from the used materials, rarely conductive, good shock resistance;

Drawbacks: high cost, hard to recycle, expensive;

Examples: steel-reinforced concrete, carbon fiber, fiber glass, Nomex, sandwich roof panels;

Applications: buildings, bullet proof vests, body of the Formula 1 cars, rockets, roof panels.

Semiconductors:

Properties: brittle, change conductive behavior under certain scenario, poor heat conductors;

Drawbacks: hard to manufacture, expensive;

Examples: Silicon-based semiconductors, Germanium-based semiconductors, Ga-based semiconductors;

Applications: chips, LED, diodes, transistors, op-amps, microprocessors.

Ring rolling is a deformation process in which a thick-walled ring of smaller diameter is rolled into a thin-walled ring of larg
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

a)True

Explanation:

Rolling:

Rolling is a metal forming in which a material passes through two or more than two depends on conditions,rolls to produce the desired product.

Ring rolling:

 In ring rolling a thick ring compresses by rolls to produce the large diameter ring.Actually volume of material is constant so when diameter of ring increases then to compensate it, the thickness of ring reduces .In simple words we can say that in ring rolling a thick ring of smaller is rolled into a thin ring of larger diameter.

A heat recovery system​ (HRS) is used to conserve heat from the surroundings and supply it to the Mars Rover. The HRS fluid loop
blagie [28]

Answer:

0.304 L of Freon is needed

Explanation:

Q = mCT

Q is quantity of energy that must be removed = 47 BTU = 47×1055.06 = 49587.82 J

C is specific heat of Freon = 74 J/mol.K = 74 J/mol.K × 1 mol/120 g = 0.617 J/g.K

T is temperature in the area of Mars = 189 K

m = Q/CT = 49587.82/(0.617×189) = 452.23 g = 452.24/1000 = 0.45223 kg

Density of Freon = specific gravity of Freon × density of water = 1.49 × 1000 kg/m^3 = 1490 kg/m^3

Volume of Freon = mass/density = 0.45223/1490 = 0.000304 m^3 = 0.000304×1000 = 0.304 L

Getting the bottom of your feet burned when walking on hot sand is due to what form of energy transmission? group of answer choi
Scilla [17]

Getting the bottom of your feet burned when walking on hot sand is due to a form of energy transmission known as conduction.

<h3>The types of energy transmission.</h3>

In Science, there are three (3) main types of energy transmission and these include the following:

  • Convection
  • Radiation
  • Conduction

In this scenario, we can infer and logically conclude that burning the bottom of your feet when walking on hot sand is primarily due to a form of energy transmission known as conduction because it involves the transfer of thermal energy (heat) due to the movement of particles.
