What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

An object will remain in its original state of motion if there is no unbalanced force acting on it.

Difference between Elastic and Plastic Deformation.

Elastic Deformation is reversible, while Plastic Deformation is permanent. 

300

What defect is this?


Vacancy

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

The acceleration of the movement of an object is proportional to the resultant force, and is also in the same direction of the resultant force. F=ma.

What is the difference between Strength and Toughness? 

Strength is the stress needed to cause permanent deformation; toughness is the energy necessary to fracture, area under the stress strain curve.

400

What defect is this?


Substitutional 

400

Draw the Free Body Diagram. Consider Friction.

Difference Between Materials Science and Materials Engineering?

Material Science: Determines relationship between structure and properties of materials. R&D new materials.

Material Engineering: With application in mind, develops new products/components. Develops new materials processing techniques, to suit application

500

A material property that involves the materials physical response to stress & strain, typically by external forces.

Mechanical Properties

What are the 3 “solid materials” and what are the main bonding types (primary & secondary) associated with them?

Metals: Metal Bonds

Polymers: Covalent Bonds and Van der Waals

Ceramics: Ionic Bonds

500

What is the difference between statics and dynamics.

Statics: Velocity is 0 or constant, Sum of Forces=0

Dynamics: Velocity changes, sum of forces: F=ma
