Sagging electrical transmission lines demonstrate that solids contract as they cool because the material of the lines, typically made of metals, undergoes thermal contraction when temperatures drop. As the metal cools, it shrinks, leading to a decrease in tension in the lines, which causes them to sag under their own weight. This behavior is a direct consequence of the physical properties of solids, where the atomic structure tightens as thermal energy decreases, resulting in reduced length and increased sagging.
What else can I help you with?
What percentage of solids are man made?
27.4%
What is the difference between clarifier and classifier?
Clarifier removes solids from Liquid and Clarifier removes solids from Gas
Why is air a better insulator than solids?
.air you can breath and if there was no air there would be no things that live out of sea
What properties of solids make them useful for building houses?
because it is?gjkl#
Types of mixers for non cohesive solids?
ribbon mixer and tumbling mixer
Do all solids contract then cooled?
No
Why do wires tighten up at night?
At night, there is no sun, thus there is no heat. When there is no heat, solids contract. The wires, being solids contract at night and in the morning, when there is heat, they sag.
Do liquids contract slower than solids when cooled?
yes they do
Why do wires look different during the day and at night?
At night, there is no sun, thus there is no heat. When there is no heat, solids contract. The wires, being solids contract at night and in the morning, when there is heat, they sag.
What happens to the volume of solids liquids and gases when they are cool?
they all contract.
What has the author N Cusack written?
N. Cusack has written: 'The electrical and magnetic properties of solids' -- subject(s): Solids
Which solid contracts while cooling?
All solids contract while cooling.
Does Ice contract when cooled and expand when heated like most other solids?
yes
What does cooling causes in solid?
Usually cooling will cause solids to contract. That is, they will get slightly smaller.
Do solids change volume?
Most solids expand as they increase in temperature and contract as they get colder. Interestingly, water after it freezes will start to expand as it gets even colder.
What travels on through solids?
Sound waves can travel through solids by causing particles to vibrate and pass energy along. This transmission is more efficient in solids than in liquids or gases because the particles in solids are closely packed.
What happens to the volume of solids liquids and gasses as they warm and cool?
As solids are warmed, they expand and their volume increases. Conversely, as solids cool, they contract and their volume decreases. For liquids, warming causes expansion and an increase in volume, while cooling results in contraction and a decrease in volume. Gases behave differently as they expand when warmed and contract when cooled, with volume being directly proportional to temperature.
