Q1(a). What are the important characteristics of clays? Clay is an inorganic materials mineral which contain on fine particle‚ normally grain size is near about <1/256mm. It shows good plasticity in wet form but become brittle when it is dried. It is good insulter of electricity and thermal conductivity. Porosity is also another important characteristic of clay.[1‚ 2] (b)What is the structure of clays? Mostly‚ clays have layers structure. They form combination of tetrahedral silicates and octahedral

Unit 1 a) Is economics a science? Yes ! The word “Economics” is derived from the Greeks word “Oikonomos” which means to manage the house. So it means the management of a household especially in those matters‚ which are relating to the income and expenses of the family. After sometime‚ the term economy was adopted. Economics is regarded as a Social SCIENCE and not a PURE science like Physics or Chemistry because it uses scientific methods to build theories that can help explain the behaviour

As what I understand about how Science and Technology affects our lives‚ That there are advantages and disadvantages. The Advantages are‚ it makes our lives simple by using equipment that can easily finish and do well the work or job. We can save more time and energy so that we can perform and do our other job. We can now easily communicate our relatives by using cellphone and internet‚ it can connect us even they are in the other part of the world and then with digital camera‚ we can see them

Activity 4 To solve the fracturing of the bracket we are going to change in dimensions make the bracket more compact and lighter which decrease the chance of fracture. And increasing the number of holes to 2 increases the stability of the cable and giving excess strength to the bracket. By using those dimensions below: Length: 250mm Width: 210mm Height: 125mm Thickness: 12mm Thickness of base: 10mm No. of mounting points: 4 No. of holding holes: 2 Diameter of the holes: 65mm each

Many polymers have a mixture of ordered (crystalline) regions and random (amorphous) regions. In the glassy state‚ the tangled chains in the amorphous region are frozen so movement of chains is not possible the polymer is brittle. If the glassy material is heated‚ the chains reach a temperature at which they can move. This temperature is called the glass transition temperature. Above this temperature the polymer is flexible. At the melting point‚ the crystalline regions break down and the polymer
