Solid - made up of tightly packed particles, which gives it a solid shape.
Gas - made up of very loose particles, giving it more freedom to roam around as a gas
Liquid - fills into whatever it gets put in, basically takes the shape of the object its in
Answer:
The criteria listed in order of importance are;
1) To be inflated in the event of a collision in order to protect the occupants of the front of the vehicle
2) To be able to withstand the load of the breaking force of the occupants in the front seat of the vehicle during a collision
3) To be relatively tough so as to resist being torn on impact with a sharp object
The constraints listed in order of importance are;
1) How is the model design able to sense a collision that requires the airbag to be inflated
2) The uncertainty of the load the airbag will withstand upon collision
3) The possible hazard that could be caused by the gas used to inflate the airbag
4) The usage/interaction tendency between the vehicle occupant and the airbag system
Explanation:
In order to produce an effective design, it is important to be able to foresee the possible deficiencies of an idea so as to be able to mitigate the problems before an actual incident happens.
The answer is D. Gold. Malleability, the ability for a material to be hammered or shaped into thin sheets, is a common property of metals. Among the choices, gold is the only metal. Also, gold is considered to be the most malleable metal.
