Question 1
Addition polymerization
In addition polymerization, polymer is formed by addition monomer without eliminating any product at specified temperature, pressure and presence of catalyst. Different methods of addition polymerization are free radical polymerization, cationic polymerization, anionic polymerization and coordination polymerization. Mainly addition polymerization occurs in the monomers having double bound. This process has three stages initiation, propagation, termination.
Initiation: - free radicle attack monomer and form free radicle monomer this is called activated monomer.
Propagation: - activated monomers react each other and form growing polymer chain.
Termination: - the chain growth end at this stage.
Condensation

Above Tg the rate depolymerization rate is very high compare to depolymerization it will lead to degradation of polymer when it use above Tg

Question 5
A) The ball which bounced has good resilience property other doesn’t have good resilient property. Resilience is the ratio of energy released in deformation recovery to the energy caused the deformation.
First ball has good elastic property when it hits the floor there is deformation occurs in the rubber ball. This deformation leads to change the location of molecules. After hitting the molecule try to attain its original position so it will try to reduce energy. Release of energy cause bouncing of ball.
The second ball is very rigid so there is no deformation occurs so there is no bouncing occurs.
B) When first ball immersed in liquid ammonia the temperature will reduce so there is no vibration of bond occurs in polymer. The ball became rigid so a little bouncing occurs in soft ball
Second ball became very rigid when it immerses in liquid ammonia. It may break when it hit

the liquid doesn’t obey Newtonian law is called Non-Newtonian fluids. viscosity of non-Newtonian depends shear rate. Consider ketchup when stress increased the ketchup will flow faster than without stress
Eg:- ketchup, tooth paste, shampoo
Plasticizer
plasticizer is an additive used to improve properties of polymers. Plasticizer improves flexibility and durability of polymers. Plasticizer keeps the molecules apart by embedding between the polymer molecule. Plasticizer will reduce the cohesive force between the polymer chain. It increases the free volume and will decrease glass transition temperature. Plasticizers are mainly used in PVC.
Eg :- DINP, DIDP
Amorphous
Amorphous materials do not have crystalline structure. It has randomly ordered molecular structure. They don’t have sharp melting point.
Properties
• Low heat resistance
• Don’t have sharp melting point
• More transparent
• Lower shrinkage when cooled
• Very low dimensional stability
• High creep
Example :- nylon, acetal

    As importantly, it gives the tennis ball a lot of surface for spin, which is a key part of the game. Tennis ball are usually packed in a hermetically, or airtight, sealed cans containing three balls. The reason for this is that tennis balls are hollow on the inside and its interior is filled with certain gas, such as nitrogen, which depends on the type of ball or the manufacture. A tennis ball is pressurized, so it loses its bounce when the gas inside is repeatedly forced to make the ball regain its shape. Discover how the gas molecules are able to escape a tennis ball over time with help from a USPTA certified tennis pro in this free video on tennis equipment.…

    (Boy, that makes sense, doesn't it - given that polymers are made by hooking up one molecule after another after another after another.....) For example, look at polypropylene (sounds like polly-pro-pill-een): Its backbone chain is made up of just two carbon atoms repeated over and over again. One carbon atom has two hydrogen atoms attached to it, and the other carbon atom has one hydrogen atom and one pendant methyl group (CH3). (What's a pendant group?…

    Bouncy Ball Height

    In our lab I was investigating: Does the height you drop the ball affect how it will bounce? When we were doing this lab person #1 held the meter stick, and person #2 held the bouncy ball when person #3 was ready to record the height the ball bounced person #2 dropped the bouncy ball and told the height the ball was dropped and the height the ball went to. Our materials were 3 people, a meter stick, pencil and paper, and a bouncy ball. As we dropped the bouncy ball from a greater height it bounced about half of the height we dropped the bouncy ball from. For example when we dropped the bouncy ball from twenty centimeters the ball only bounced to 16cm.…

    Baseball is a relatively easy sport to watch. For the average spectator, the pitcher throws the ball towards the batter. The batter swings his bat, and attempts to connect with the ball. Depending on the angle when the ball is hit will determine if the batter hits a home run, line drive, or if he is out. In this paper the physics of what goes into the game of baseball, and how the ball-bat coefficient of restitution can make a real difference on baseball bat performance.…

    Why Do Balls Bounce

    • 534 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Introduction What is very interesting about this research is that when the balls are cold the gas molecules inside tend to get tired and not have so much energy to help the balls bounce. It’s their job to act as a spring to help the balls bounce, but in order for the ball to bounce it has to be the right temperature, meaning the degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment. In this case it has to be warm outside because that’s when the gas molecules inside are excited and they have a lot of energy. A gas molecule is the simplest structural unit of an element or compound.…

    Introduction This practical was an investigation involving the use of a tennis ball and a meter ruler. The tennis ball was held and dropped at a specific height above the ground. The height of the bounce was then measured. This investigation was carried out to find out whether the efficiency of the bounce varied with the height of release of the tennis ball. If the bounce were 100% efficient, then the tennis ball would have bounce off the ground and return to the starting height.…
