Nowadays, many cooking utensils are made of polymeric materials. However, people believe that heating plastic utensils would cause harm such as releasing toxic substances. Hence, people are looking for other alternatives to replace plastic. Choose ONE cooking utensil (spatula) and identify the suitable material that will satisfy its criteria. Justify your answer. Your discussion must include the interrelationship between structure-properties-processing of the selected cooking utensil.
Suppose you're selecting materials for a frictional
braking system which will be used to bring a moving
body to a stop. It is imperative that you choose a
braking surface material which will not thermally
degrade as mechanical kinetic energy is converted to
thermal energy during the braking process. You have a
list of candidate materials for your braking system
which includes maximum permissible average power
dissipation. In order to relate average power
dissipation rate to your system's mechanical
properties (and select an appropriate material), what
information will you need?
mass of the body your braking system is
decelerating
maximum speed of your body at the time the
braking system is applied
duration of the braking process
