What are three kinds of matter that conducts heat poorly?
Things that are nonmetal conduct heat poorly. These insulators would include plastic, rubber, Styrofoam and wood. This is due to the characteristics of the materials.
What is tidal heating?
Tidal heating is the heating of the Earth due to being pulled on by the Moon and Sun. The Earth is constantly changing shape and heat is a by-product of that.
Is rubber polar or nonpolar?
Rubber is considered nonpolar. Dipole moments are not possible in rubber due to its molecules' similar charges, and it is not soluble in water.
Why do you use both natural and synthetic rubber?
Natural rubber is made from latex which is taken from trees and is widely used in many products to this day. Synthetic rubber is preferable in most applications today due to the fact that it is more durable than natural rubber and the chances of allergic reactions are smaller.
Why does plastic retain odor?
Plastic is a type of porous material which is commonly used in making many products. Due to its porous nature it absorbs odors.
Are basketball biodegradable?
If the ball is made from a rubber based polymer, which I would assume it is due to elasticity, then it is NOT biodegradable.

What are difference between void contract and illegal contract?
void contracts are contracts that technically don't exist mainly due to duress while an unenforceable contracts are contracts that can not be enforced

Increase in volume due to heating?
Expansion
Shrinkage percentage of rubber when heated and cooled?
Rubber typically shrinks about 5-10% when heated and then cooled. This shrinkage is due to thermal contraction and the relaxation of internal stresses within the material. The amount of shrinkage can vary depending on the type of rubber and the specific heating and cooling conditions applied.
Why do cars burn rubber?
Burning rubber is slang for spinning the tires. The rubber burns due to friction which causes heat which melts the rubber and causes it to smoke.
What is tidal heating?
Tidal heating is the heating of the Earth due to being pulled on by the Moon and Sun. The Earth is constantly changing shape and heat is a by-product of that.
What is the worlds best diabolo?
The worlds best for more than one diabolo is the 'taibolo'. There is a rubber and a plastic one. The plastic one is slightly lighter. For a single diabolo, it would probably be the 'Sundia Shining'. If it is for a beginner though, it may break easily due to the fact it has a bearing axle.
What type of rock forms due to heating and cooling?
igneous rock is formed by heating and cooling.
