Solid metals undergo greater thermal expansion than liquids do?
false
What happens to the particles in a solid when it is heated but not melted or burned?
Thermal expansion occured.
What is thermal expansion and contraction of matter?
Thermal expansion will occur in just about all of the 15 or more phases of matter: whether it be solid, liquid, gas, etc.
What is the increase of the volume of a substance by the increase of temperature called?
This increase of volume is called expansion
Which describes a physical change that results from the addition of thermal energy?
Expansion (either of a solid or steam) and evaporation are two of these physical changes.
What is heat strain?
heat strain or the thermal strain is caused due to the temperature changes. A solid body expands as the temperature increases and contracts as the temperature decreases.this causes the thermal strain. for a homogeneous and isotropic body the thermal strain is caused by change in temperature. thermal strain = coefficient of linear thermal expansion * change in temperature where the coefficient of linear thermal expansion gives the strain per degree of temperature.
Does a solid have fixed volume?
Ignoring thermal expansion - yes.
Solid metals undergo greater thermal expansion than liquids do?
false
What happens to the particles in a solid when it is heated but not melted or burned?
Thermal expansion occured.
What is the scientific name for the inrease in the size of a substance when the temperature is increased?
Thermal Expansion. Each liquid or pure solid has a specific thermal of expansion. The thermal expansion of a substance is not linear, though for most of the temperatures we encounter in normal life, it is close enough to linear to be able to use a linear definition called the "Coefficient of Thermal Expansion".
What is thermal expansion and contraction of matter?
Thermal expansion will occur in just about all of the 15 or more phases of matter: whether it be solid, liquid, gas, etc.
What is the increase of the volume of a substance by the increase of temperature called?
This increase of volume is called expansion
How is thermal expansion being affected by temperature?
Thermal Expansion is being affected by temperature because the substance's temperature increases and therefore it makes the particles move faster and spread out. Also, it causes more space between the particles which then makes the substance expand. Alcohol in a thermometer is expanding and that is also caused by Thermal Expansion. Not only that but, Mercuy is also used in thermometers which again like I said before is caused by Thermal Expansion which to then makes the thermometer expand the red liquid.
Examples of thermal expansion in solids through heat?
Not sure what you mean; basically, ANY solid will expand if you heat it.
What is the common condition that is caused by the thermal expansion and cooling of computer components called?
It is generally called "Chip Creep".
What is the shrinking of a substance called?
Since expansion is the process of a substance's dimensions increasing, e.g., thermal expansion caused by a rise in temperature, the logical opposite would be contraction.
Which describes a physical change that results from the addition of thermal energy?
Expansion (either of a solid or steam) and evaporation are two of these physical changes.
