Does density change when the size of an object changes?
No. A drop of water and a tankerful of it have the same density. But these are two different masses of the same material. If you have, say a piece of metal and heat it up so that it expands, and there is still the same amount of substance, then the density decreases as the substance expands. Water expands as it freezes; that is why ice floats in water.
What do the words expand and contract mean?
contract is when an object is the same size as always expands is when it gets bigger
A bimetallic strip will bend when heated because?
Each metal expands at different rates! One kind of metal expands faster than the other so to make room but still be at the same length with the other metal, it bends.
Does matter expands or contrast when heated?
Matter usually expands when heated.
Which has more mass 1 pound of water or 1 pound of steel?
Gravity exerts the same amount of force on each (they have the same weight) so they must have the same mass as well.
Does a steel tape measure more when hot?
Yes because it expands when hot
JINDAL VIJAYNAGAR STEEL live shares market rate?
share rate JINDAL VIJAYNAGAR STEEL
What is the problem of using a steel rule?
Heat (extreme?) expands the distances between the demarcation lines.
What effects does ammonia have on steel?
Ammonia reduces the rate of corrosion on steel.
How did steel plow help expands the national economy?
because it brought more farmers into the farming comunnity
Does brass expand more than steel?
Linear Temperature Expansion Coefficient (10-6 in/in oF) Brass = 10.4 Steel = 7.3 Therefore brass will expand or contract more steel.
When a mercury therometer is heated the mercury expands and rises in the thin tube of glass What does this indicate about the relative rates of expansion for mercury and glass?
It indicates that the mercury expands much faster in reaction to change in temp. If the glass expanded at the same rate as the mercury does, the level of mercury would not change.
Are steel buildings less prone to settling than buildings with traditional wood frames?
Steel buildings settle at the same rate as traditional wood frame buildings do. It is the type of foundation that is more important.
Does aluminum cools faster than mild steel?
Yes, If if both samples are by equal volume of space not by mass, and heated at the same rate in the same time frame the answer is Yes.
Do solids expand at the same rate?
No all solids do not expand at same rate because some solid expand at less temperature and some solids expand at less temperature. For example if we take iron and plastic iron expands at high temperature and plastic melt at less temperature(at candle light also).
What the advantages using mercury in thermometer?
it expands at constant rate and has got high boiling point.
Why measuring tapes are made of invar steels?
Because Invar steel expands and contracts very little with changes in temperature.
