Striking experiment with straight sided glass?

A person can perform an experiment with a straight sided piece of glass to see if it has more strength when it is hit while it is horizontal or vertical. It has been proven that a piece of glass used in an automobile will have more strength when it is hit at an angle. This is why the windshield on a car is not straight up and down like a window would be.


What fire will burn faster one with small pieces of wood or one with large pieces?

The smaller the wood the quicker it will catch fire. This is because the wood will heat up quicker. Unike in a larger peice of wood the heat has to spread all over it before it can catch fire. There are less exposed paticles in a smaller peice and less particles together! The smaller the wood the quicker it will catch fire. This is because the wood will heat up quicker.

If you have wet hands and pick up a piece of metal that is below freezing point you may stick to it This doesn't happen with wood Why not?

Metals have high heat conductivity compared to wood. When your hands touch a piece of wood the surface layer of the wood heats up to your skin temperature quickly and does not transfer this heat very quickly to the bulk of the wood. Therefore your skin ends up transferring very little heat and does not cool down very much. When you pick up a piece of metal heat begins transferring from your hands to the surface of the metal and is easily carried away into the bulk of the metal. The surface layer of the metal therefore doesn't heat up very quickly (it's passing most of the heat your hands give it into the bulk) and your skin therefore loses a lot of heat and cools down a lot. It some cases the outside of your skin can quickly drop below freezing. If your hands have any moisture on them then this moisture might freeze, "sticking" you to the piece of metal.
