Question:

Explain why the following metals are suitable for the given uses.?

a) Aluminum is used for window frames.b) Tin is used for coating food cans.c) Chromium for coating car bumpers.d) Copper for electrical wiring.

Answer:

a It's easy to work, it doesn't corrode because it is covered with a hard protective oxide layer. b Tin melts at a low temperature and it's unreactive, so if you dip mild steel sheet in molten tin you give it a protective coating. c Chromium has a hard protective oxide coating and it's easy to electroplate onto steel, so it makes an attractive, shiny coating for steel parts. d Copper has the lowest resistance of any reasonably cheap metal.
homework; try google or
a) light and cheap and probably because it doesnt hold heat. b) im sorry i dont know c) im sorry i dont know d) because it does not get hot under heavy load, they used to use aluminum and that gets hot, that could be dangerous
This Site Might Help You. RE: Cold air intake questions CARBURETOR? Does having a cold air intake on a carburetor engine give any performance gain? I know it does on fuel injected engines but what about carb cars?
Im not sure if they make a kit for your particular truck, but if they dont you could always make your own w/ a universal aluminum piping kit. Just get the right size, which in your case should be 3 or higher. A cold air intake is used to get outside air (which is usually cooler) and create a little bit more horse power and fuel economy. You see, the outside air is more dense and this would keep your intake temperatures down. Meaning, a cooler engine means more power. Of course you could just get a RAM AIR intake, which is usually just a Aftermarket filter at the end of the stock plastic tubing, which the filter would take place of the heavy plastic shroud where you stock filter is. Granted you lose maybe 2 pounds of weight, but now your forcing hot air into your truck, which is less dense and could eventually cause your engine to lose horsepower. *Cooler is better* Hope this helps
