The reason a car's dashboard might crack when exposed to high temperatures?
thermal expansion
Why do things get brittle when frozen?
This is due to molecular mobility, which changes with temperature. At colder temperatures, the molecules within a material may be less able to slip and slide past each other as they do at normal temperatures. At normal temperatures, the material will have a certain amount of elasticity or ductility and is able to deform under stress without a crack appearing. At lower temperatures, the elasticity or ductility is lost and when placed under stress, the material may crack and give rise to a brittle fracture. The temperature at which this change in material properties occurs is called the "glass transistion temperature" denoted as "Tg".
Why tungsten is used exclusively for making bulb filaments?
Its because Tungsten has a high tolerance to heat, they are also used in industrial saws and drills, because they don not crack at high temperatures.
What is borosil?
Borosilicate glass is a special type of glass which does not melt/crack on heating at high temperatures .It is used in many places such as science labs , at home , in construction ,etc. It is a mixture of salt of boric and silic acids
Why are high temperatures needed to crack alkanes?
High temperature and low pressure.Z
What makes eyeglass lenses crack within a week?
dropping them.
What causes the engine block to crack?
Lack of anti-freeze in sub-freezing temperatures. The water in the block freezes and expands.
Why did your car battery crack?
Overcharging or defective battery. They will also crake in freezing temperatures if the battery has lost it's charge.
What causes a engine to crack?
Engine blocks can crack from many different reasons. Improper antifreeze ratio during freezing temperatures, internal engine component malfunctions (such as throwing a rod), etc.
Do plastic garden planters hold up in freezing temperatures?
No, plastic garden planters need to be kept in a warm and dry place. They shouldn't be exposed to extreme temperatures, as this ruins the plastic and causes it to crack.
Is ice freezing in a crack of a rock erosion or weathering?
Ice freezing in a crack of a rock is considered weathering.
Is ice freezing in a crack of a rock considered weathering or erosion?
Ice freezing in a crack of a rock is considered weathering.
Does freezing then thawing a mechanical weathering of a rock?
Yes, it is a form of mechanical weathering. Water manages to get into a crack in a rock, and with cold temperatures, freezes. When transferring from a liquid to a solid, the molecules of water expand by crystallization, widening the crack in the rock.
Does Freezing makes a rock crack?
No
What is most likely to make a rock crack and crumble?
stressWater freezing in a crack in a rock
Does freezing cause water to expand and crack rock?
yes
Will it damage pots if I store them in freezing conditions?
If water is left in the pots they may crack from the freezing and thawing process.
