Question

You work in the special effects department of a movie studio. You are currently working on a superhero movie where the hero is very

strong and cannot be hurt by normal weapons such as a sword. In the next scene, the villain
is going to hit the hero with a lead pipe.
The hero's costume is mostly made of foam and carbon so that is it very light and easy to move around in but will crumble if hit with
anything hard. For this scene, a section of the
costume needs to be replaced with a different material that will only dent, not crumble,
when hit with the pipe. You are on a deadline and look around the props
department for ideas, what could you use?
A. You find sheets of copper (Cu) used in an induced rescue factory scene
B. You find a barrel of phosphorus (P) used as a component in explosive powder
C. You find a tank of helium (He) used for balloons
D. You find large desk of Chlorine (Cl) used to kill bacteria and pools

Answer 1

A. You find sheets of copper (Cu) used in an induced rescue factory scene

Step-by-step explanation:

I would use a sheets of copper (Cu) used in an induced rescue factory scene because, copper is a metal and the only material out of the other options that would only dent and not crumble when hit by the lead pipe.

The other options in B - D are non-metals.

Phosphorus is a non-metal and is used as an explosive and thus cannot be used.

Helium is a gas used in filling balloons and thus cannot be used.

Chlorine is used in killing bacteria and thus cannot be used.

So, copper is the only option available since it is a metal and can thus accommodate a large force.

So, option A is the answer.
