That is why electric wires are not laid taut on electric poles.

Do gases and solids contract when cooled?
yes, because the cooling process removes energy from the matter which makes the particles move less and the matter contract
Do solids contract when frozen?
No. They expand.
What effects does cooling have on solids?
Most solids shrink as they get colder (ice is an exception). Some solids become brittle when they are very cold and can shatter if struck.
What does contract mean in science class?
contract means when a substance becomes small due to cooling or locomotion.
What happens to the volume of solids liquids and gasses as they warm and cool?
Mostly they expand as they warm, contract as they cool.
Which solid contracts while cooling?
All solids contract while cooling.
What does cooling causes in solid?
Usually cooling will cause solids to contract. That is, they will get slightly smaller.
If cooled does most solids change into gases?
When cooled gases change to liquids (usually) and then solids Solids don't change to gases upon cooling
Do gases and solids contract when cooled?
yes, because the cooling process removes energy from the matter which makes the particles move less and the matter contract
Do all solids contract then cooled?
No
Do solids contract when frozen?
No. They expand.
Can you make solids dissolve faster by cooling the solution?
No.
How are amorphous solids formed?
Amorphous solids are formed by the rapid cooling of a liquid. Then, when cooled the particles have no regular pattern like crystaline solids do.
What effects does cooling have on solids?
Most solids shrink as they get colder (ice is an exception). Some solids become brittle when they are very cold and can shatter if struck.
Why do wires tighten up at night?
At night, there is no sun, thus there is no heat. When there is no heat, solids contract. The wires, being solids contract at night and in the morning, when there is heat, they sag.
Do liquids contract slower than solids when cooled?
yes they do
How can solids liquids and gases be made to contract?
By applying heat
