Question

Uma chapa metálica, com um furo central de diâmetro "d", é aquecida dentro de um forno. Com o aumento da temperatura, podemos afirmar: Tanto a chapa quanto o furo permanecem com as mesmas dimensões. O furo permanece constante, e a chapa aumenta a sua dimensão. O furo diminui enquanto a chapa aumenta a sua dimensão. Tanto o furo quanto a chapa aumentam as suas dimensões. O furo diminui enquanto a dimensão da chapa permanece constante.

Answer 1

Answer:  O furo diminui enquanto a chapa aumenta a sua dimensão.

(The diameter decreases and the dimensions of the metal increases)

Explanation:

I will answer in English:

Here we have a piece of metal with a small hole on it, that is heated in a hoven.

We know that when a piece of metal is heated, it will expand (the density decreases, so the dimensions of the piece of metal increase).

Now, particularly, the hole will also expand but inwards, as each "extreme" of the piece of metal, will expand into where it has less resistance, so it will expand in the region where there is no material. This "inwards" expansion is why the diameter of the hole will decrease.
