What contains a small piece of metal that bends when it gets hot?
A thermostat contains a small piece of metal called a bimetallic strip that bends when it gets hot, allowing it to regulate temperature by opening or closing a circuit.
Why is it a good idea to run a metal lid under hot water?
yah its not gonna explode... actually, the real reason for this, is that- Property: Solids expand on heating and contract on cooling. Explanation: Sometimes, in winter, the metal lid cools down and it contracts and gets stuck on the mouth of the container. So, to separate it from the container, it is put under hot water. Thus, it gets heated and expands, and gets separated from the container.
What is an example of conduction in the home?
An example of conduction in the home is when a metal spoon placed in a hot cup of coffee warms up due to the transfer of heat from the hot liquid to the metal. This is because the metal spoon is a good conductor of heat, allowing for efficient transfer of thermal energy.
Why the end of a spoon sticking out a cup oh hat water also get hot?
The spoon sticking out of a cup of hot water also gets hot because heat is transferred from the water to the metal spoon through conduction. The metal material of the spoon allows heat to flow easily, causing the temperature of the spoon to increase as it comes into contact with the hot water.
Why does a metal spoon handle gets hot in soup but a plastic spoon handle does not?
A metal spoon handle gets hot in soup because metal is a good conductor of heat, meaning it can easily transfer heat from the hot soup to the handle. On the other hand, plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so it does not easily transfer heat from the soup to the handle of a plastic spoon. This is why a metal spoon handle will feel hotter to the touch compared to a plastic spoon handle when used in hot soup.
When a metal and a black plastic is put into hot boiling water at the same time which gets hot first?
the metal.
If you can run hot water over a lid it gets loose and you can open it how is that possible?
It works best with a metal lid on glass. When the metal lid gets hot from the hot water it expands. The glass doesn't expand as much as metal so the tight seal that the lid had on the glass gets loosened as the lid gets slightly larger.
What water will rust the fastest cold or hot water?
warm water will rust metal faster
How would a metal spoon help to make a cup of hot tea cool down?
Yes it would, the metal conducts the heat quickly
What contains a small piece of metal that bends when it gets hot?
A thermostat contains a small piece of metal called a bimetallic strip that bends when it gets hot, allowing it to regulate temperature by opening or closing a circuit.
What kind of handle would be best for a metal pot and why?
Wood because it does not melt and/or get really hot. Metal, when heated, gets super hot. Plastic, when heated, melts.
Will metal dry if covered when wet?
Yes, metal will dry if covered wet and the temperature gets hot enough outside the cover
How would temperature affect bridges?
the metal or concrete might expand if it gets too hot and compress when it gets too cold.
What kind of metal conducts heat fastest?
Silver is the best (and so fastest) metal to conduct heat.
Where can hot solids and metal be found?
Deeper near the core and mantle. The deeper you go, the hotter it gets.
What metal gets hot fastest?
Francium (fran-see-um) is the most reactive metal and so quickest to react. It is part of the alkali metals group which all react with water. If francium ever touched water it would produce a very violent reaction in the form of an explosion.
Which example best demonstrates the process of conduction?
A metal spoon gets warm when used to stir hot soup.
