Effect of temperature on materials.
Why does the metal lid of a glass jar become easier to open when we run it under hot water?
Answer:
When we run the metal lid under hot water, the heat causes the metal to expand more than the glass jar. This makes the lid slightly larger, loosening its grip on the jar and making it easier to open. This shows that materials expand when heated and contract when cooled.
