3Question 3.
What is thermal expansion?
- The reduction in size of materials
- The increase in size of materials due to heating
- The amount of heat required to expand materials
Show hintHide hint

4Question 4.
True or False: All materials expand when heated.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the nature of thermal expansion.
Question 5.
A copper pipe expands when heated from 10°C to 70°C. Given its original length is 4m and the coefficient of linear expansion for copper is 16.5 x 10^-6 °C^-1, calculate the change in length.
Show hintHide hint
Use the linear expansion formula correctly.
Question 6.
Consider a glass jar filled with water. If the jar's volume changes by 200 cm³ due to thermal expansion, what is the new volume if the original volume was 1500 cm³?
Show hintHide hint
Simply add the changes to the original volume.
