It will expand when it is hot. It will contract when it is cold. This is because when an object is heated up its particles spread apart and visa-versa. The engineer who designs the bridge takes into account the maximum possible values for expansion and contraction that the bridge is ever likely to experience, in order for it to be safe under any conditions.

What are everyday examples of solids expanding or contracting due to temperature changes?
One common example is metal expands when heated, which can be seen in a metal bridge expanding on hot days. On the other hand, rubber contracts in cold weather, as seen when car tires lose pressure in winter. Another example is wooden doors expanding or contracting with changes in humidity levels, leading to difficulty in opening and closing them.
What does raising the temperature of most solids cause the vibration of the molecules to do?
Raising the temperature of most solids causes the vibration of the molecules to increase in amplitude and speed. This results in the solid expanding as the molecules take up more space due to their increased movement.
Which family contains liquids solids and gases?
The family of matter includes solids, liquids, and gases, which are the three primary states of matter. Each state has distinct properties: solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a definite shape nor volume, expanding to fill their container. These states can change from one to another through processes such as melting, freezing, condensation, and evaporation.
What physical properties tell us if an object is a solid liquid or gas?
The physical properties that indicate whether an object is a solid, liquid, or gas include shape, volume, and compressibility. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, and gases neither have a fixed shape nor volume, expanding to fill their container. Additionally, the ability to flow can distinguish liquids from solids, while gases are highly compressible compared to liquids and solids.
What are spongy solids?
spongy solids are those solids which are porous...................simple and straight forward...

What are two problems that expanding solids can cause?
hii i think that solids expand because when you heat whatever fits stright through something else you heat it on a Bunsen burner or something hot leave it for a couple of mins and then put what you have picked through the other thing then you will see that it wont go back through the other thing.....
What type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion?
Primary waves (P-waves) are the seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground, similar to an accordion. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.

What type of seismic waves that arrived at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion are called?
P Wave
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
The type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion are called?
The type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion are called primary (P-waves) or compressional waves. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
Is sound transverse or longitudinal?
Sound is a longitudinal wave, meaning that the vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. This allows sound waves to travel through solids, liquids, and gases by compressing and expanding the medium they are traveling through.
What physical properties tell us if an object is a solid liquid or gas?
The physical properties that indicate whether an object is a solid, liquid, or gas include shape, volume, and compressibility. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, and gases neither have a fixed shape nor volume, expanding to fill their container. Additionally, the ability to flow can distinguish liquids from solids, while gases are highly compressible compared to liquids and solids.
What is diffrance between amorphous solids and crystalized solids?
Crystalline solids have a particular geometric organization of their atoms. Amorphous solids do not.
Are solutions all solids?
Not all solutes are solids.
