Yes, that is generally the case. When things get colder they become brittler. Brittle objects tend to break rather than deform and rebound. If you submerged a rubber ball in liquid nitrogen for a few moments and then dropped it from a height onto a rigid surface, it would shatter, not bounce. (Note that brittleness is not the same as rigidity. Objects can be rigid and elastic. For example, a steel girder is rigid and elastic.)

How does the solubility of oxygen in water change with temperature?

The solubility of oxygen in water decreases as temperature increases. This means that warmer water can hold less oxygen compared to colder water.


Why does water make gum hard?

When water comes into contact with gum, it causes the gum to lose its elasticity and become hard. This is because water disrupts the molecular structure of the gum, making it less flexible and more rigid.


When you use less of something what are you doing?

When you use less of something, you are reducing the amount or quantity of that particular thing being consumed or utilized. This can help conserve resources, cut costs, or limit potential negative impacts associated with its usage.


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".


What liquid is colder than liquid helium?

Of the ELEMENTS, Helium has both the lowest melting point and the lowest boiling point. Under normal pressure, Helium is only a liquid between -272C and -269C. That first number is less than one degree above absolute zero, so there's not much room for any compound to be a colder liquid.

Does temperature affect the elasticity of a gummy worm?

Yes, temperature can affect the elasticity of a gummy worm. When the temperature is warmer, the gummy worm is typically softer and more elastic, while in colder temperatures, the gummy worm may become harder and less elastic.


An elasticity measure less than one means that demand is what?

for elasticity less than one the demand will be inelastic, i.e there will be very less effect of price on the demand.It will be relative inelastic or inelastic.

Explain the concept of income elasticity of demand and how it is calculated?

When you have less income you tend to consume less.


Does temperature affect elastic?

Temperature can affect the elasticity of materials. Generally, when temperature increases, most materials become less elastic and more prone to deformation. However, some materials exhibit changes in elasticity at specific temperature ranges, such as those that undergo phase transitions.


Why does a ball bounce less when its cold?

When a ball is cold, the air inside it contracts, reducing its pressure and elasticity. This decrease in pressure and elasticity results in less energy being stored in the ball when it is compressed upon hitting the ground, causing it to bounce less.


Colder air holds less moisture than warmer air?

If air is holding as much moisture as it can, colder air holds less than warmer.


What is the degree to which the supply or demand of something responds to changes in price?

Elasticity.

How life would be with less solar radiation?

We would have less light. The earth would also be colder. The only way it wouldn't be colder is if global warming increased.
