Well, solids. For example, when you heat up metal is expands and when you freeze it, it contracts
What else can I help you with?
Does matter expand in heat or in the cold?
Matter typically expands when it is heated and contracts when it is cooled. This is due to the increased kinetic energy of the particles in the matter when heated, causing them to move further apart. Conversely, cooling matter decreases the kinetic energy, leading to the particles coming closer together.
What change takes place in the liquid inside a thermometer when the thermometer is placed into something cold?
When a thermometer is placed into something cold, the liquid inside contracts and decreases in volume. This causes the liquid level to decrease, indicating a lower temperature on the scale of the thermometer.
How does a liquid thermometer measure temperature?
The alcohol or mercury in a thermometer expands or contracts very precisely according to heat or cold.
How does a cold frame automatic vent opener work to regulate temperature in a cold frame?
A cold frame automatic vent opener uses a wax-filled cylinder that expands and contracts with temperature changes. When it gets hot, the wax expands and pushes a piston to open the vent, releasing excess heat. When it cools down, the wax contracts, allowing the vent to close and retain warmth inside the cold frame.
Why is Mercury used in the thermometer?
As the Mercury is heated it expands and as is cools it contracts. It is used because it also heats and cools in even intervals that are easy to track in a metric system.
Why do your upper cupboards lower counters pull away from the wall in the winter?
Because heat expands and cold contracts. Like putting ice on a swollen ankle.....
Does a balloon expands or contract when put in the refrigerator where it is cold?
A balloon will contract when placed in the refrigerator because the cold temperature slows down the air particles inside the balloon, causing them to decrease in volume.
Which water should be cold and cold when doing a old remedy for a pair of nested drinking glasses?
Put cold water inside the glasses. Dip the outer glass into hot water. The outer glass expands, the inner glass contracts.
Why does roofing sheet make racking noise during sunny periods and cold periods?
Metal expands in the heat and contracts in the cold, so the noise you are hearing is the metal growing/shrinking due to the changes in temperature.
What does onion skin wheathering?
Onion-skin weathering is the process when a rock is repeatedly subjected to heat and cold, and in the process it expands or contracts resulting for the outer layer to peel off.
Why would a soap bubble shrinks and vice versa when it takes from warm room to cold one?
This is the result of the volume of a gas being related to the temperature of a gas. The gas in the bubble expands when it warms and contracts when it cools. Similarly, the air in the room expands when it warms and contracts when it cools. So if the air in the bubble is warmer than the air in the room, the bubble gets bigger.
Murcury expands when it's hot but what expands when it's cold?
Water expands when it freezes and becomes ice.
