Clay Definition and 63 Threads

I was feeling very bored so I wanted to play with my surroundings and I had: Crafting glue: And Rubber Dust: Near me so I (for some reason) mixed them together and rubbed them on my hand. After some time it started to take a spherical shape. It lost the stickiness of glue and started acting...

HI, Just found this on google "Can sound travel through clay?" and signed up. 2019 my home was hit by an energy wave causing a humming inside, no noise outside just in. the humming is 24 / 7 and worse in the early hours, 1am through to 6am. I am the only household suffering, it is so...

I have a question regarding the collision of two objects, specifically something heavy falling on something with a point. For example, if a 50lb ball of clay fell from 10 meters onto the point of a knife, would the knife's point have to withstand the entire force of the clay before the blade...

I don't get why the total mechanical energy is not conserved in this situation. When the length of the spring reaches the maximum, the speed of the block is 0 and we have the following equation: $$E=K+U=1/2mv^2+1/2kA^2,\text{where A is the amplitude} \implies E=1/2kx_{max}^2$$ I can't see why...

I gather that special effects artists sometimes use a sculpting medium called "hybrid clay". (Unfortunately, web searches about it are impeded by the use of the term "hybrid clay" as a hair conditioning product. Sellers of sculpting materials do use the term - e.g...

I'm reading through my soil heat flux chapter and I have two questions: it seems that 1. Cs (volumetric heat capacity) in soil increases with increasing soil moisture. I assume volumetric heat capacity is the amount of J it takes to heat up a volume with 1 degree. Does that mean that the more...

Hello, Can anyone recommend a good solvent for sodium bentonite? I have used it as a sealant, and I need to remove it. Would it be better to dehydrate it with heat before trying to dissolve it?

I'm assuming the reason raw clay is red is because of the iron content, how do you separate it. also is that why bricks are red? and is porcelain just pure clay? one more thing do smelters of iron (how?) also produce steel at their factorys, and if so is that steel also sold as ingots for...

In the yards of my neighborhood there is about 1 meter of a light brown clay over meters of sand. I'm curious what causes this geology. This is in the USA in the 88005 area code. I speculate that clay is caused by floods of the Rio Grande river, but I don't know what explains the sand. There...

Homework Statement Does sound travel through clay? Homework Equations V=√(Young module/Density) The Attempt at a Solution I've read this from a book and it says the clay is a non-elastic material, so sound doesn't travel through. Is that correct?
