Thermostats.

∙ 12y agoThat is called a bimetallic (bimetal, bi-metal or bi-metallic) strip. The strip is made of two layers of different metals. The metals expand or contract with changes in temperature. The two metals have different rates of expansion/contraction with temperature which causes the strip to bend.

∙ 15y agoThe metal does not bend, it expands. Some metals expand faster than others. This effect can be used in coils--two strips of different metal plated together--to control a thermostat.

What color of melting metal is the least hot?
Red is the least hot color when metal is melting.
What will happen if you boil gold?
Nothing. The melting point for Gold is 1947.52 °F and water boils at appox. 212 F so the most you will have is a very hot piece of metal.
What type of cup keeps hot water hot the longest?
A metal cup
Why the metal gets hot after being hit with the hammer?
The metal get hot after being hit with the hammer because the hammer made a pressure on the metal by hitting many time. Let's say if you slap someone several times. He/she will feel hurt and hot.
Does metal containers keep food hot?
Metal is a good conductor of heat, therefore heat leaks out of it easily, and it does not keep food hot all that well. Styrofoam keeps food hot.
What contains a small piece of metal that bends when it gets hot?
Thermostats.
What will happen when a hot piece of metal is attached to cold piece of metal?
Thermal energy will move from the hot to the cold until their temperatures are identical.
Is a hot piece of metal still magnetic?
Yes
What happens when one piece of metal is melted?
It becomes hot liquid.
What is pyro-engraved?
Its usually done with a hot iron, (a very hot piece of metal to burn the object)
Examples of effects of heat on matter?
Expansion, example the railway tracks. This is because when the metal expands on hot days, the track doesn't bends

What will happen energetically to a cup of boiling hot water that is added to a cup containing a cold piece of metal?
choices are: The cold will flow from the metal into the hot water, causing the hot water to warm up and the metal to cool down. b. The energy from the hot water will flow into the cold metal, cooling the water down and heating up the metal. c. The cold will flow from the metal into the hot water, causing the hot water to cool down and the metal to warm up. d. The metal will cool down because the specific heat of water is high.

Can metal absorb solar energy?
I suggest you place a piece of metal in the sunlight. If it gets warm or hot, that means that yes, it absorbed at least part of the incoming energy.
