Expansion

Explanation:

Expansion is the change is size of a body with increasing temperature and tension.

Bridges are built of iron. Iron thermally expands in the presence of increased temperature during the day. The length of the iron will increase by simple fractions. At night, when temperature drops, the bar returns back to its initial position.

  • The allowance for expansion of the metal is made in order to prevent tension within the structure.
  • Not doing this will cause the material to break since there is no free space for the bar to change shape.

Define law of conservation of mass
horrorfan [7]

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction. Hope this helps!
