Answer: please find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

In Engineering, safety is very essential and very important for all engineers to stick to.

A.) Wearing metal ring or bracelets.

When their is discharg of electrical charges, wearing of metal rings or braceletsb can allow charges to pass through them into the body which can eventually lead to electrical shock.

B.) Being barefoot

Being bare footed is very dangerous because someone can mistakenly step on naked wire which can lead to electrical shock.

C. Working on a damp concrete floor.

It is very hazardous to be working on a damp concrete floor because of the water moisture. It is very unsafe for any electrical job to be done on any wet area because water can conduct electricity which can lead to electrical shock.

d. Touching grounded conductors while working on electrical equipment

Grounded conductor can allow charges to flow through them. So, it is very unsafe to have them have contact with the body because of electrical charges.

e. Working on electrical equipment with sweaty hands

A sweaty hands contain some content of water which can conduct electricity and lead to electrical shock.

Why is concrete on its own not a good material to use
Inga [223]

Answer:

It has poor tensile strength despite having high compressive strength

Explanation:

Concrete exhibits high compressive strength when used. However, it has very low compressive strength. This is the reason why concrete is normally combined with steel to make a composite building material called reinforced concrete. The steel reinforces concrete hence increasing the tensile strength in RC buildings. The end composite is durable and fireproof. Generally, the main reason why concrete is not use on its own is due to its poor tensile strength.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

A)

It should be Non- toxic

It should possess high Thermal conductivity

It should have the Required Thermal diffusivity

B)

  • stoneware : This material has good thermal diffusivity and it  is quite affordable and it is used in making pizza stones
  • porcelain: mostly used for mugs and it is non-toxic
  • Pyrex : posses good thermal conductivity used in oven

C)   All the materials are suitable because they serve different purposes when making modern kitchen cookware

Explanation:

A) characteristics required of a ceramic material to be used as a kitchen cookware

  • It should be Non- toxic
  • It should possess high Thermal conductivity
  • It should have the Required Thermal diffusivity

B) comparison of three ceramic materials as to their relative properties

  • stoneware : This material has good thermal diffusivity and it  is quite affordable and it is used in making pizza stones
  • porcelain: mostly used for mugs and it is non-toxic
  • Pyrex : posses good thermal conductivity used in ovens

C) material most suitable for the cookware.

 All the materials are suitable because they serve different purposes when making modern kitchen cookware
