What else can I help you with?
Oil expand or contract when heated?
Oil does expand when heated and contracts when cooled.
What are examples of thermal expansion and contraction?
the Mercury in a thermometer expands when heated and contracts when the temperature cools down.
What are the disadvantages of rubber tires?
When rubber is heated it expands and when it cools it contracts.
When matter is heated does it contract?
No, when matter becomes heated it always expands, meanwhile when matter becomes cool it always contracts.
Are all material will expand when heated Have any exception?
In general, most materials expand when heated due to the increase in kinetic energy of their molecules. However, there are exceptions, such as water, which contracts when heated from 0°C to 4°C due to changes in its molecular structure. This anomaly is known as the "anomalous expansion of water."
When a piece of mild steel is heated by the application of an electric arc the metal?
contracts (get smaller)
What property of water makes it different from other substances?
It contracts when heated from 0 deg C to 4 deg C. Other substance expand when heated.
Do any matter expand when cooled and contract when heated?
Sort of. In the temperature range of 0-4 Degrees Celsius water contracts when heated and expands when cooled. Outside of this temperature range it behaves normally.
Is the expansion of a substance due to heat?
YES, as far as I'm concerned, a substance expands when heated and contracts when cooled.
Why mercury is used in making thermometers?
It was used because it is a liquid that expands and contracts to a usable degree when heated or cooled.
Which substance shrinks on heating?
Most substances expand when heated, but water is an exception. Water contracts when heated from 0°C to 4°C before expanding as it heats up further.
What happens to the density of a heated iron block?
The density will decrease because the heated metal contracts and its particles slow down.
