Two metal spheres are made of the same material and have the same diameter, but one is solid and the other is hollow. If their temperature is increased by the same amount:_______.
A) the solid sphere becomes heavier and the hollow one lighter.
B) the solid sphere becomes bigger than the hollow one.
C) the hollow sphere becomes bigger than the solid one.
D) the two spheres remain of equal size.
E) the solid sphere becomes lighter and the hollow one heavier.

Respuesta :

Answer:

D) the two spheres remain of equal size.

Explanation:

  • Since the body of the sphere is made up of both the same material. Thus the orientation will not affect the expansion. That is solid upon solid and hollow upon the hollow sphere. Hence it can be said that both the sphere expands and is due to the material used for making both of them is the same.
