Increases

If the gap can easily be conceived as a small break in a metal ring, then the expansion of the metal ring may decrease the gap size.

Will the metal ball go through the metal ring if you heat the metal ring?

yes because when you heat a metal ring it will expand


A metel ball is barely able to pass through a metal ring when annette zetterberg heats the ball it does not pass through the ring what happens if she instead heats the ring?

Heating the ring will cause it to expand, increasing the size of the ring's opening. This will make it easier for the metal ball to pass through the ring after it has been heated.


What happens to the size of the hole in a thin, circular ring when it is heated in the oven?

When a thin, circular ring is heated in the oven, the size of the hole in the ring typically increases. This is because the ring expands as it is heated, causing the hole to become larger.


Why a metal ball contracts when a ring holds it after using a Bunsen burner to heat it?

The metal ball contracts when placed in a cooler environment because of thermal contraction. When heated with a Bunsen burner, the metal expands due to increased kinetic energy of its particles. Once removed from heat and placed in the cooler ring, the metal loses kinetic energy, leading to contraction.


Take a copper ring that looks like an O and cut a segment so it looks like the letter C Would the gap grow wider or more narrow as the metal expands if you were to heat the metal and explain?

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.

When the metal ball is heated can it go through the metal ring?

when the ball is heated, it will pass through the unheated ring.


What will happen to the size of gold ring when heated?

When a gold ring is heated, it will expand in size due to the increase in temperature causing the molecules to move more vigorously, resulting in the metal structure expanding. As the ring cools back down, it will contract and return to its original size.

What is a metal ring used in a lab?

The metal ring is attached to the upright of the ring stand. It is used to support glassware while it is being heated over a Bunsen burner.

What two elements are in a gold ring?

A gold ring typically consists of the elements gold and possibly a small amount of another metal such as silver, copper, or zinc to increase its durability and strength.


Can a metal ring be attracted to a magnet?

No, the metal ring cannot if it is made out of copper.


How much would an old black onyx ring with a roman soldier be worth?

It would be impossible to give you a price without inspecting the ring. The value of any ring depends upon the metal its made of and its condition and in some cases the particular style of the ring. Your best course would be to have a jeweler or antique dealer appraise it, but go to several and compare what they will offer.It would be impossible to give you a price without inspecting the ring.
