a solid sphere and a solid cube are made from the same material. the sphere would just fit within the cube, if it could. both begin at the same temperature, and both are heated to the same temperature. which object, if either, has the greater change in volume?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sphere would have a greater change in volume, because its shape is more spherical, meaning it has more surface area and therefore more space for expansion. The cube, on the other hand, has less surface area, so its increase in volume would be less.
