AI Thread Summary
Softening temperature, flow temperature, and tack temperature are key concepts in thermal methods of analysis. The softening point refers to the temperature at which a material, like glass, can be molded or worked. Flow temperature indicates the point at which a material begins to flow under heat. Tack temperature is associated with the stickiness of a material at elevated temperatures. Understanding these definitions is essential for analyzing material properties in thermal studies.

Flow temperature
Tack temperature


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I have no idea about these, except that these are covered under thermal methods of analysis.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Some of these should be fairly easy to look up. What have you found?
 
I just got the defination of Glass traction temperature. And I got a few references for softening point, as the point at which a glass can be molded or worked. Is this correct?

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
