Adults can become quite large, with a reported typical length of 106.5â183 cm (3 ft 6 inâ6 ft 0 in). They are the largest snake found in Canada. The record total length is 256.5 cm (8 ft 5 in), making it (officially) the longest snake in North America.
When we talk of an energy absorbing material, what weâre really talking about is a material that can control the release of energy in various ways. Energy is never lost â itâs only transferred into different forms. You probably remember this from basic science classes in middle school or high school.
We focus onWe focus on energy transferenergy transfer. We observe energy changes in:We observe energy changes in: â¢ Heat Transfer: How much energy can a material absorb before a phase change or a reaction occurs? â¢ Phase Change: melting/freezing, boiling/condensing â¢ Chemical Reactions: Is energy absorbed or released in the reaction? Do we need to supply a little energy to get the reaction started (hexane combustion)? 1 Thermodynamics: Study of energy and energy conversions. â¢ The thermodynamics of a reaction determines whether or not a reaction will be product-favored or reactant favored â¢ Every thermodynamic value has a number and a sign.
