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.

The volume of an irregularly shaped solid such as a watch is found by immersing that solid in water inside a graduated cylinder. You can then simply read the change in water level off the markings on the cylinder. Of course, if your watch is not water proof, this may not be such a good idea.


Why are cops called the heat?

The slang term "heat" likely comes from the idea that police officers are under pressure to catch criminals and maintain law and order, similar to the idea of being under pressure or intense scrutiny. Additionally, it may refer to the fact that police officers often carry firearms, which generate heat when fired.


What happens when a ball is immersed in water?

There are many types of balls, and they have different densities. A basketball floats, a billiard ball sinks. In any event, if a ball is in water, there is some displacement of the water (so if you are doing it in a small tank, you can observe that the water level will rise). The ball gets wet. Sometimes this could be a good idea, if the ball in question needed to be cleaned.
