Why is conduction useful?
Conduction is useful because it allows you to heat solids. FACT: Solids heat faster than liquids and gases.
For a microscope to be useful it must combine two properties?
it must combine magnification and resolution
Give some examples for expansion of solids?
All solids expand as they are heated but I guess you want some examples where this is either useful or a problem: Useful * Bimetalic strips used in thermostats. They are made by joining 2 metals with different rates of expansion together, as they get warm they bend one way, as they get cold they bend the other. Problem * Long pipes have to have S bends in them to allow for the expansion/contraction otherwise they buckle or snap. * Railway lines are laid with gaps in them so that there is room for them to expand. (This is where the ta ta ta tap sound comes from as the wheels go over the gaps.) * Bridges have to have be suspended to allow for expansion.
What is the function of quartz?
Quartz is a natural substance, SiO2, and has a number of properties useful to us. It has a high melting point compared to ordinary glass, it has some very useful piezoelectric properties, It has a high propensity to crystallize when in compound with other substances. Hence many of our precious jewels.
Why is it difficult to re-use energy once it is in your surroundings?
Entropy always increases :(. One way of looking at it is all energy wants to be waste heat, and all life and machinery is a system of toll bridges, extracting useful work from the energy on the way to it's final destination. Once the energy arives, it has no desire to go anywhere so toll bridges don't turn a profit.
What properties of solids make them useful for building houses?

This hard rock is useful in building bridges and building what is it?
many have been used, but reinforced concrete is preferred now as properties are more predictable and consistent.
What hard rock is useful in building bridges and building?
Most modern bridges are steel structure or framework. Limestone, dolomite and marble have been used in many historic buildings attesting to their durability.
What hard rock useful in building bridges and buildings?
Granite is one kind of hard rock.
What properties of steel makes alloys useful for the cable and towers of the Golden Gate Bridges?
Because It Is A Strong Alloy ThereFore It Is The Best In Its Group To Do The Job.
What are properties of mentals that are useful?
"Mentals"? I think you mean "Metals". There are several useful properties in metals. Its hardness and density are useful in building and constructing. Its smooth nonporous surface is useful in many different ways, its flexibility and endurance are great for making earth quake proof buildings and bridges.Look at the San Francisco bridge. Exponentially, there are no limit to the useful properties of metal. All you have to do is look it up.
Why is conduction useful?

Acids give soaps their useful properties?
Nope, bases actually gives soaps their useful properties.
What is the names of platonic solids?
IcosahedronDodecahedronTetrahedronCubeOctahedronHope these are useful
How do you determine the useful life of a building?
formula for determining the useful life of a building?
What do bridges need to with stand?
because if they don't stand they will not be useful
When would a bridge crane be useful?
Cranes that are used for building bridges or other large structures are used because they can carry very large weights across very long spans and heights.
