Question

Suppose that material scientists are testing a new alloy that has remarkably large coefficients of thermal expansion. A sample of the alloy is formed into a thin, uniform, solid disk with diameter 2.00 cm when at room temperature. If the temperature of the disk is increased by an amount ΔT the diameter of the disk increases by an amount ΔD.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

When the temperature of solid is increased its size increases. It is due to the increase in internal energy of the solid and then there is expansion in the solid. The temperature gives heat to the solid object and it expands in size. The expansion cannot be linear it can be increased in size by the volume.
