Why dows running hot water over a tight lid make a jar easier to open?
The heat causes a slight expansion of the lid, which relieves pressure of the lid against the jar.
Why you must heat up the lid of a jar to make it easier to open?
Simply because the metal lid expands quicker than the glass jar - making it loose. The lid will return to its original size when it's cooled back to room temperature.
How could you use thermal expansion to help get a tight lid off a jam jar?
Heat the metal lid (but try not to heat the glass jar as much) and the thermal expansion will make the lit easier to screw off (I do this often by running the lid under hot tap water).
Does water in a jar evaporate faster in sun or shade?
In the sun. It is subjected to more heat energy.
Why does jar of mixer become hot when they run for few movements?
because friction produces heat

How you can get the metal lid in the jar should you heat it or cool it?
You can try heating the metal lid to expand it and make it easier to open the jar. Alternatively, you can cool the metal lid to contract it, which may also help loosen its grip on the jar.

Explain why running some hot water over the lid might make it easier to open?
Heat makes metal expand so running hot water over a lid allows it to become slightly bigger, therefore loosening it and making it easier to turn off the jar.

Why do you use hot water to remove a tight metal cap easily?
Often, lids are made of metals which are great conductors of electromagnetic waves (including heat). When warm water is applied to a "difficult" lid, excitement of the atoms in the metal occurs (very slight) which causes a slight expansion. This expansion helps the lid to be moved from it's grip on the jar or bottle. This is also found in plastics. Although not through expansions. The heat from the warm water literally softens the plastic.
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.
What are four sentences for the word jar?
I could not open the jar of pickles.Pass me that jar, please.We need a new jar of jam.Someone left an open jar on the top of the kitchen worktop.
Why is it easier to remove a metal lid off a glass jar when soaked with hot water?
The heat causes the metal lid to expand, making it slightly bigger.
What are some good tips to open a plastic jar with a stuck lid?
There are many way to open a plastic jar with a stuck lid, however, each method depends on the type of lid the jar has. For a jar that just won't open, sometimes stretching a large rubber band around the outside of the lid allows for extra grip. Sometimes it is helpful to hand the jar off to someone who is strong in order to open it.
How do you make hot cinnamon toothpicks using boiling water instead of soaking in a jar?
You can make hot cinnamon toothpicks using boiling water instead of soaking in a jar by using regulated heat.
Why a glass jar can open easily if the metal lid is heated gently first?
Heat causes the metal to expand, thus breaking the seal.
