Why can a jammed metal lid of a jam jar be opened by heating?
When you heat the jar, the glass expands only slightly while the metal expands much more. This is governed by the coefficient of expansion for the substance. The greater the coefficient of expansion, the more the substance expands. Since metal generally has a much higher coefficient of expansion, the lid of the jar will get bigger while the jar only expands slightly. That makes everything a little looser, which makes it much easier to open the jar.
