    that an object more dense than the water will float and and object less dense than the water will sink. Lastly, the bioelectrical impedance analysis uses electricity to measure the resistance of electrical current flow between points. Fat is a good insulator and water is a good conductor. A person whose body has more muscle can hold more water. This means that the less fat in the body there…

    Answer The Bakelite plastic was created in 1909 by Leo Baekelan, a Belgian chemist. Bakelite has revolutionize the way consumer goods are manufactured. For example, it was resistant to heat and would not conduct electricity, so it was a really good insulator—which made it particularly useful in the automotive and electrical industries emerging in the early 1900s. Since Bakelite…

    A. WAVES Normally when energy is transferred from one place to another a disturbance is involved. Waves can travel through air, water, and solid materials. Mechanical and electromagnetic waves are the two types of waves. Medium is the material in which a wave travels. Mechanical Waves When a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate, a mechanical wave is formed. Mechanical waves require a medium to travel. There are two different types of mechanical waves: longitudinal and transverse waves.…

    Scrapping and pollution. Despite shipbreaking being a profitable industry there are a number of environmental and human health hazards. A brief review in numbers shows that scrapped ships have an unlabeled weight of between 5,000 and 40,000 tons, 95% of which is steel, coated with between 10 and 100 tons of paint containing lead, cadmium, organotins, arsenic, zinc and chromium. Ships also contain a wide range of other hazardous wastes, sealants containing PCBs, up to 7.5 tons of various types…

    Theoretical framework This study is all about the comparative analysis between commercial soup containers and homemade soup container. This study is being supported by the following theories: Principles of Heat Transfer. There are three ways on how heat transfer. One is through solid material that is conduction. Two is through light that is radiation. In addition, the last is through convection. These are all according to the U.S. Department of Energy. These principles of heat transfer support…

    dealt with during the Middle Ages in Europe. Peasants lived in houses called crucks with straw mattresses being their only furniture. Holes in the wall, were so called windows, they did not have glass. The walls were made of mud, which was a good insulator in the winter, however, the walls retained heat in the summer too, making the living space very hot in the summer months. The roof was a thatched straw roof, which contributed to bugs in the peasants' living space. Clearly, their living space…
