For my medical device, I wish to create a material that is soft and will retain a lot of water. But I
also want it to be rigid and can withstand up to 50lbs of force. What material should I use?
Q1.
Imagine you are working for an automotive manufacturer and are selecting plastic materials for various components. Draw the structure of a material you might use for a soft touch plastic. Now draw the structure of a material you might use in the drive train (i.e., an engineering plastic). What characteristics are you engineering into the material?
Q2.
Based on what you know about the calorimetry of melting and crystallization, do you expect melting to be endothermic or exothermic? What about condensation? Can we say anything general about heat flow in the process of forming bonds, covalent or van der Waals?
What materials are airplanes made out of? And is there any specific reason you should choose one material over another?

- Would you need a semi-truck to transport 1 x 1025 atoms of copper? Show your dimensionalanalysis and explain using a complete sentence.arrow_forwardWhen lifting weights, it turns out the amount of force you need to lift them doesn't necessarily match the dumbbell's weight — in other words, if an object weighs 100 N, the amount of force you actually need to apply is probably not 100 N. Observe the diagram below: You can think of the bones in your arms as rods that rotate about an axis of rotation (your elbow) depending on the magnitude, direction and position of the forces being applied. So in order for your arm to lift the weight, the torque exerted by the bicep should be greater than or equal to the torques being applied by the bones' center of mass and the weight your hand is holding. Notice how the bicep is connected to the arm bone (the radius) at a certain distance from the joint, and applies an upwards tension force (as the bicep contracts in order to lift objects). Show how the magnitude of the tension force exerted by the biceps muscle can differ greatly from the magnitude of the weight.arrow_forwardIn a research lab where ceramics are heat treated for further application, you are presented with two unlabelled specimens (A, B) of bio-ceramics and told that they have the same basic chemical composition, but one has been sintered properly and the other has not been sintered at all.
