Does chlorine damage limestone tile?
Yes, chlorine can damage limestone tile because it is a reactive chemical that can cause etching and discoloration on the surface of the tile. It is best to avoid using chlorine-based cleaners on limestone tile to prevent any potential damage.
Is thorium in porcelain tile?
Thorium is not typically used in the production of porcelain tile. Porcelain tile is usually made from a combination of clay, sand, and other natural materials. Thorium is a radioactive element that is not commonly included in tile manufacturing processes due to safety concerns.
How can an unglazed porcelain tile be used to identify a mineral?
You identify minerals through a streak test. This involves taking the tile and the mineral to be identified and rubbing them together. This produces a colored streak on the tile, which can be used to identify the mineral. Consult a field guide for specific colors.
Why is a falling glass less likely to break on carpet?
It is the force exerted within the glass when it hits the floor that breaks it. If the glass falls on a hard floor like concrete then the force is very big because the floor has no "give." Effectively the bit of the glass that hits the floor stops instantly but the rest of the glass following behind is still moving. The force within the glass is bigger than the tensile strength of the material and so it fails. If the glass falls on a carpet then the carpet has some "give." The glass slows down over a few millimeters by squashing the carpet. This massively reduces the forces within the glass and gives it a fighting chance of staying in one piece.
What is the difference between marble tile and porceline tile?
Marble tile is actually natural stone, so it has all the stone properties. Another advantage will the fact that you can polish it whenever you want. Porcelain tile is man-made tile that contains natural elements. It is durable, scratch and slip resistant and it doesn't absorb water
Will a ball bounce higher if dropped on tile or carpet?
A ball will typically bounce higher on tile compared to carpet because tile provides a more rigid and less absorbent surface, allowing the ball to maintain more of its energy during the bounce. Carpet, on the other hand, tends to absorb more of the impact energy, resulting in a lower bounce height.
Will a rubber ball bounce higher on tile or carpet?
Probably tile. It all depends on how hard you throw it and the weak/strong points of the tile or carpet.
What makes a ball bounce higher on tile than on carpet?
You must consider newton's third law of motion. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction would be greater on tile, because tile is harder. On a surface such as carpet it uses energy pushing down on the soft surface to get to the hard part. The carpet and wood are soft, therefore making a soft reaction.
How high will a basketball bounce on concrete grass and carpet?
A basketball will bounce more on concrete because it is a flatter surface then carpet and grass
How long does it take for an ice cube to melt on a carpet versus a tile?
An ice cube will generally melt faster on a tile surface than on a carpet. This is due to the higher thermal conductivity of tile, which allows for better heat transfer compared to carpet. The carpet's insulation properties slow down the melting process.
Where can I go to buy good carpet tile?
Carpet tile can be found at stores such as Carpet Corner or Tile Merchant however I strongly recommend that you do not carpet your kitchen but use linoleum or stone tile instead.
How does carpet friction differ from tile friction?
Carpet friction is generally higher than tile friction due to the texture and softness of the carpet fibers, which provide more resistance to sliding. Tile friction is typically lower as it has a smoother surface that allows for easier movement. Carpet can also provide more grip and traction due to its cushioning effect, while tile can be slicker especially when wet.
How well does a basketball bounce on ceramic tile floor?
The floor type does effect the bounce on a basketball due to the kinetic energy absorbed by the floor that is why it is easier to bounce a ball higher on a basketball court than it is say on tiles and carpet court.its a godd science experiment
Why do footsteps on a tile floor sound louder on than footsteps on a carpet floor?
Footsteps on a tile floor sound louder than on a carpet floor because hard surfaces do not absorb sound as well as soft surfaces. The sound waves produced by footsteps on tile bounce off the hard surface and create a more resonant and louder noise compared to the sound waves that are absorbed by a carpet.
Does it cost more to install carpet as opposed to tile flooring?
By the foot, carpet is about $2 & tile is about $5.
Does a baseball bounce?
That could be called a one hopper.
which will cause more friction on a tile foil carpet are sandpaper?
carpet
