Solutions

Expert Solution

Example of physical property is Density. Practical application of density is observed in ship building. Density of the object decides it will float on the water or not.

Example of mechanical property is Ductility. Ductility can be defined as ability of material to undergo plastic deformation under the tensile load. Practical application of Ductility can be found in wire drawing process.

Example of electrical property is electrical resistivity. It is a measure of electrical resistance of a material. It's practical application is electric heating coils.

Example of thermal property is Thermal conductivity. It is the property by virtue of which heat energy is conducted through material. Practical application of thermal conductivity is found in thermal insulators and thermal conductors.

Identify the forms of energy based on each example: Nuclear, Mechanical, Light, Heat, Thermal, chemical energy. The energy released when two polymers are hydrolyzed. Separation of positive and negative charges across a membrane drives the movement of ions through channels. Energy transfer due to a temperature difference. Photons hit the eye and are interpreted as images Muscles contract allowing for skeletal movement. A radioisotope decays, releasing large amounts of energy.

In a study of the thermal inertial properties of aerated concrete used as building material, average interior temperatures were investigated. These temperatures are known to have an approximately normal distribution. The claim is the average interior temperature is 22.5 degrees. A consumer advocate believes this temperature is in fact less than 22.5 degreess. To this end, he collects a sample of 15 measurements and finds the average temperature of the sample to be 20.9 degrees with standard deviation of 3.5...

Give an example of how annealing is used in an engineering application. Also, briefly explain how and why the mechanical properties—for a metal—of yield strength, ductility, hardness, Young’s modulus, ultimate tensile strength, and toughness are different for a cold worked metal vs a metal that has been annealed at a relatively high temperature for a relatively long time (must talk about grain size).

Electrical properties were determined for a new material called dragonite which is considered to be a metallic conductor. It was found that its electrical conductivity is 2.5*10^7 and electron mobility is 0.003 . For dragonite, you can assume a density of 8.1  and an atomic mass of 75.4 . What is the number of free electrons per atom in this material? Enter your answer as a number to two decimal places.
