Molecules move back and forth faster and faster causing expansion
When a metal bar is heated....the particles in the area of the metal bar that is hot start vibrating.. knocking into each other and passing the heat energy on to cooler particles. The cooler end that isn't heated still has a rise in temperature just not as much as the heated area because the heat has almost been diluted.
Aluminium bronze expands at a quicker rate than aluminium due to its higher thermal expansion coefficient. Aluminium bronze is a copper-based alloy that contains aluminium, which makes it expand more with heat compared to pure aluminium.
The drawing pin which is the closest to the heat/bunsen burner will fall off first because of the heat partials travel through the metal rod and through each piece of wax causing the wax to melt.
it expands and it becomes bigger
when the ball is heated, it will pass through the unheated ring.
Metal expands when it is heated. Since track is made of metal then it expands when it is heated by the sun.
No, the volume of a metal increases as it is heated. It expands.

When metal is heated, it expands and becomes larger in size. This is because heating the metal causes the atoms to vibrate more, which in turn increases the space between them, resulting in expansion.
Metal expands when heated, friction.
When a metal plate with a circular hole is heated, the metal expands due to the increase in temperature. As a result, the size of the hole also expands slightly. This phenomenon is known as thermal expansion.
Ice melts into water, wax melts into liquid, and metal expands when heated.
Most substances expand when heated because the heat causes the particles to move more rapidly, increasing the space between them and causing them to take up more volume. This expansion is known as thermal expansion and is a common physical property exhibited by solids, liquids, and gases when exposed to heat.
Matter expands when it is heated.
As the circular metal sheet is heated, it expands uniformly in all directions, including the hole. However, since the hole is not a separate entity but simply a void within the metal, it does not grow smaller or larger. The hole appears to change size relative to the expanding metal because of the way our eyes perceive the interaction between the sheet and the hole.
Right. When a metal pot is heated, the particles in the metal gain kinetic energy, causing them to move more vigorously and take up more space, resulting in expansion of the metal pot.
You answered your own question with "as the metal expands." The gap stays proportionally the same, because the whole piece of copper expands when it is heated. It isn't relevant that someone cut out a piece of it, because the copper is completely unaware of this. It expands because you heated it, causing its atoms to move apart. This expansion occurs everywhere in the copper, but obviously not in the gap (there's nothing there but air). You may be thinking something like, "Well then the copper must close the gap," but you have to remember that ALL of the copper expands. You get a bigger version of what you had before you heated it. Tight pipe and machinery fittings are accomplished using this method. Heat it to expand, cool it to shrink.
