When circumstances are right, most materials undergo a process called thermal expansion. Which statement best describes the caus
e and effect of thermal expansion? Group of answer choices Matter is heated, and its particles spread out more. Matter is heated, and its particles move closer together. Matter is cooled, and its particles move closer together. Matter is cooled, and its particles spread out more.
Answer: Matter is heated, and its particles spread out more
Explanation:
Thermal expansion occurs when there's an expansion of an object or material or when an object becomes bigger because of a rise in its temperature. This brings about the faster movement of the heated molecules and the atoms spreading out.
Therefore, the cause and effect of thermal expansion will be that when matter is heated, and its particles spread out more.
If you double the mass of an object, you double the kinetic energy. If you double the speed of an object, the kinetic energy increases by four times. The word "kinetic" comes from the Greek word "kinesis" which means motion. Kinetic energy can be passed from one object to another in the form of a collision.
