Find the list of ten different materials that are used in a car.
Explanation of Solution
The materials that are used in a car are as follows: A space frame and wheel is made of aluminum. Steering wheel and seat frames are prepared by magnesium. The body of the car is made by impact-resistant composite plastic. Batteries used in car consist of plastic housing which contains metal anodes and cathodes and fluid used in the battery is lead-acid acts as a electrolyte. For electric start, power source uses nickel metal hydride batteries. The traction system or motor used in the car is made of metal and plastic parts. Plastics, foam padding, vinyl and fabrics are used to form the dashboard cover, door liners and seats. The tires are made by the use of rubber. For the car fuel, petrol or diesel is prepared from crude oil.
Conclusion:
Hence, the different materials that are used in a car have been listed.
