Answer:

The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy.

Explanation:

Temperature controlling device in an electric equipment like a heater, is called a thermostat.

A bimetallic strip contains two different metals. Each metal has its own characteristic property of expansion or cooling. Coefficient of thermal expansion has a different value for different metals.

The metal that has a higher expansion coefficients will expand more when  heated, compared to the metal that has a lower coefficient of expansion.

In a thermostat used in a heating circuit, the electric contact is cut off due to the bending of the bimetallic strip, when the desired temperature is reached.

Hello!

In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy. 

This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending. 

The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.

The acceleration of an object would increase if there was an increase in the
xxMikexx [17]

As per Newton's II law we know that

F_{net} = ma

here we know that

F_{net} = F_{ap} - F_f

so here we will have

a = \frac{F_{ap} - F_f}{m}

so here if we need to increase the acceleration we need to increase the applied force while on increasing the mass or on increasing the friction force the acceleration will decrease.

So here correct answer will be

<em>A) force on the object.</em>
