Metal
It could sink. (The metal's density is greater than water.) It could turn into a ball of flames. (If you dropped a chunk of sodium into graduated cylinder, it would react with flames or sparks.)
No because zinc is more reactive than tin so it dilutes it
Swallowing any piece of metal (or other hard materials) is dangerous. I would guess that the fact that it is magnetic would not be very relevant.
If it falls on the Earth, it would be called a meteorite. If it burns up in the atmosphere, it is called a meteor and if it doesn't enter the atmosphere it is a meteoroid.
The thickness of a typical aluminum beverage can is around 0.09 mm. To calculate the thickness for 1 gram of metal in a 35 cm piece, you would first convert 1 gram to the equivalent thickness based on the density of the metal (aluminum has a density of about 2.7 g/cm³), then divide the total length by this thickness.
Metal would generally be a better reflector than wood because metal surfaces tend to have higher reflectivity for light. This means that metal is more efficient in reflecting light and directing it in a specific direction. Wood, on the other hand, is not as reflective and would absorb more light rather than reflecting it.
Plastic is generally a better insulator than metal because it has higher electrical resistance and lower thermal conductivity. This property makes plastic a good choice for applications where electrical insulation or heat retention is needed. Metal, on the other hand, is a better conductor of heat and electricity.
The closest piece of metal that looks like a Frisbee would probably be a buzz saw.
Of itself a metal can not be "shortened". However, a metal OBJECT such as a piece of metal wire can be shortened by cutting a piece off. This would be a physical change.
That would vary greatly depending on the type and density of the metal, along with the dimensions of the particular piece. The weight of a piece of anything is the volume times the density.
Jody wrote a piece of an answer to a question on WikiAnswers. There was a dangerous piece of metal on the roadway. I would like a piece of pie.
I would prefer to have a wooden desk over a metal desk because it is more appealing to the eye and would seem like a nicer piece of furniture for a home. Now if you are trying to furnish an office, I would go with a metal desk because they are much more durable sturdy.
i think it is a reflector of light as we are able to see a leaf in the presence of light, it means when light bounces back into our eye, we can see it otherwise we would not be able to see it. however it is not a good reflector of light, but a poor reflector of light.
14KB hallmark is a 14K gold plated metal piece. The base metal would be something such as steel or copper, but certainly not of a metal of significant value.
Sound would travel better through the metal railing because metal is a better conductor of sound than air. When the metal rod hits the railing, the vibrations are quickly transmitted through the metal and carry the sound along with it.
It would get larger due to the expansion of the metal (see the related links)
reflector or inflector.
