thermal contraction
The decrease in the volume of an object as it cools is called thermal contraction. This occurs because as the temperature decreases, the particles in the object slow down, reducing the space between them and causing the object to shrink in volume.
As the temperature of an object decreases, its thermal energy also decreases because the particles within the object have less kinetic energy. Conversely, as the temperature increases, the thermal energy of the object increases as the particles move more rapidly, resulting in higher kinetic energy.
The temperature of an object affects its thermal expansion by causing its particles to move faster and spread out, leading to an increase in volume. Conversely, when the temperature decreases, the particles move slower and the object contracts.
When heat is transferred from object A to object B, the temperature of object A decreases because it is losing thermal energy to object B. Heat transfer occurs from the object with higher temperature to the object with lower temperature in an attempt to reach thermal equilibrium.
When the volume increases and the mass decreases, the density of the object decreases. This means that the object becomes less compact or dense for the given volume. The relationship between volume and mass is important when considering the physical properties of an object.
When the temperature of an object decreases, its volume tends to decrease as well. This is because as the temperature drops, the particles in the object move slower and closer together, causing the object to contract and reduce in volume.

An object's density is inversely proportional to the object's volume. As the volume increases the density decreases, and vice versa.

When the temperature of a gas is constant and the pressure decreases, the volume will increase. This is described by Boyle's Law, which states that at constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional to each other.
