Steel is more conductive than plastic is. The reason for this is that iron is more reactive than plastics are as they have valence electrons and plastic does not.
Steel has a higher thermal conductivity than plastic, so it conducts heat more efficiently. This means that when steel absorbs heat, it spreads throughout the material more quickly, causing it to heat up more than plastic. Additionally, steel has a higher heat capacity than plastic, meaning it can store more heat energy for a given mass.
A black object will absorb the most visible light energy because black objects absorb more wavelengths of light across the visible spectrum compared to other colors. This absorption leads to heat energy being produced.
Depending on the source of the heat energy: -A darker piece of paper would absorb more energy from light sources, then a white piece of paper. This is due to the fact that the white piece of paper would reflect most of the light energy, whereas the dark paper would absorb that energy. This light energy can then be converted into heat energy, leading the dark paper to have more heat energy then the white paper -Heat from a source such as hot water being poured on the paper, would not lead to any color related heat difference
A 16 mil plastic is approximately 0.016 inches thick. It is commonly used for heavy-duty applications that require extra durability and strength.
Because the density of this piece of plastic is under 1 g/cm3.
The plastic might burn.
a long piece of plastic
It depends on the size. If it was a small piece of plastic, (such as the size of a nickel or smaller,) you will be fine. If it is a larger piece, if you feel like you are choking, you should get medical help immediately.
Can I attach a piece Velcro to the back of a cell phone (plastic?) with Elmer's glue?
Springs in a car absorb energy by compressing and storing potential energy when the vehicle hits a bump or pothole. The springs then release this stored energy by expanding back to their original shape, helping to cushion the impact and provide a smoother ride for the passengers.
