Answer to Problem 1QAP

The desirable characteristics of glasses are explained below.

Explanation of Solution

Glasses are the non-crystalline materials that contain more percentage of silicon dioxide (SiO2) by volume. The desirable characteristics of glasses are listed below.

  1. 1. In general, the glasses are transparent that permit visible light to travel through it.
  2. 2. Comparatively they have good mechanical strengths.
  3. 3. The glasses are more resistant to chemicals.
  4. 4. The fabrication process of glasses are easy.

Many IT implementations are operated as projects. Project stakeholders are vital aspects of the project team. Describe a project that you have worked on and the roles of each member on the team, and then answer the following questions. If you have never been on a project, find one online and answer the following questions. Why is it important to understand the role that each member plays on the team? What organization structure was in place for the project? Was the organizational structure optimal, and if so, why was it optimal? If it was not optimal, what structure would have been the optimal structure and why?
In baseball, batters frequently attempt to hit a ball as far as possible. However, baseballs are inelastic with an officially required "coefficient of restitution" CR ≈ 0.55 on ash wood. The coefficient of restitution of a dropped ball iswhere H is the initial drop height, h is the max. height on the rebound, and h ≈ 2πH tan δ for a homogeneous material. Assuming that a baseball is homogeneous and has a storage modulus approximately the same as that of cork (E' = 18.6 MPa), what must the value of the loss modulus E'' be so that the ball is regulation?
The creep strain rate of a polymer (in “Hz”) is given by   where T is the temperature and Q = 100. kJ/mol is the activation energy. How long t will it take for a rod of this polymer to extend from 10. mm to 15 mm at 100. °C?
