Describe how ultraviolet light degrades plastics and why it does not generally degrade metals.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

A stress-strain experiment was done on a plastic and the following data was noted on the plot of the experiment: ultimate tensile strength = 9000 psi, yield strength = 5000 psi, proportional limit = 4000 psi, strain-to-failure = 0.025, strain at yield = 0.020, stain at proportional limit = 0.015 . The original length of the sample was 4 inches. What was the modulus?

Answer to Question 1

Ultraviolet

Answer to Question 2

The modulus is calculated by examining only the slope of the stress-strain curve before yield, that is before and non-linear behavior is seen. Hence, the slope at the beginning of the experiment is stress at yield (5000 psi) divided by strain at proportional limit

The tallest man ever known was Robert Wadlow, an American, who reached the height of 8 feet 11 inches. He died at age 26 years from an infection caused by the immense weight of his body (491 pounds) and the stress on his leg bones and muscles.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
