Research Paper
General ideas and topics covered in this research paper will include tensile strength, tension, elasticity, and temperature. Information on these topics will also include how their properties can differ, as well how they are affected under various circumstances.
The strength of materials and how different properties affect it can change the circumstances they are put under.
Tensile strength is the resistance of a material put under stress. It is different than compression or shear strength because of the direction of the force that the material undergoes. A material's ultimate tensile strength is different because it is the point of breaking of a material under a certain amount of stress. Contributing factors …show more content…
At higher temperatures elasticity also decreases, and less stress is required to reach a material's breaking point. For these reasons are why heat can affect the strength and elasticity of a material or object as well as its other properties.
Heat is also a form of kinetic energy, like sound waves. The more heat present, the faster molecules vibrate as well as the more energy they have. The amount of heat a substance or material intakes (absorbs) is heat absorption. This is an endothermic change because it absorbs the more heat it is exposed to, and heat is a form of energy.
However, it can also give off heat which would be an exothermic change. The amount of heat absorption is different for every material, as well as how they are affected by it. A material's heat absorption can affect its strength at …show more content…
It can also change the material's boiling point and freezing point.

When measuring temperature, the SI unit of measure is the Kelvin scale (K).
Absolute zero is 0 degrees on the Kelvin scale, the freezing point of water is at 273 degrees K, and water boils at 373 degrees K. There no negative values on this scale because zero is equal to absolute zero. To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, subtract
273.15 degrees from your original Celsius temperature.
To reach very low temperatures, an at home method used is normally dry ice. Dry ice is the solid, frozen state of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is also part of our atmosphere and what we breathe out. It' surface temperature is –78.5 degrees
Celsius, and turns directly into a gas known as sublimation. The process of sublimation causes the carbon dioxide to form a gas causing the fog it gives off and does not go through a liquid state. Carbon dioxide is first pressurized to its liquid state, with much force it is them compounded into a solid block. Carbon dioxide can be toxic in high concentrations so it's best to use in a well-ventilated area
