Linear Thermal Expansion The term thermal expansion refers to the increase in size of an object as that object is heated. With relatively few exceptions‚ all objects expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled. Perhaps the most important exception to this rule is water. Water contracts as it cools from its boiling point to about 39.2°F (4°C). At that point‚ it begins to expand as it cools further to its freezing point. This unusual effect explains the fact that ice is less dense

Coefficient of Linear Expansion Introduction With few exceptions materials expand somewhat when heated through a temperature range that does not produce a change in phase (i.e. melting‚ freezing‚ boiling etc.). The added heat increases the average amplitude of vibration of the atoms in the material‚ which increases the average separation between the atoms. Although this effect is small‚ it is very important in any application that involves using different materials in an environment where they

The Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment‚ at least when it first began‚ had a procedural understanding in the Court. The Court identified the clause to protect intrusions of liberty by the States without the proper process of law (fair trial‚ jury of peers‚ etc.) The Court‚ in the transitional era‚ developed a new understanding of the Due Process clause. The question asked was no longer about the presence of the process‚ but about the validity of the law at its core. This new understanding‚

One might argue and say that Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 freed the slaves. However‚ in my perspective‚ the 13th Amendment helped free slaves and the 14th and 15th Amendments made African Americans part of society. The Emancipation Proclamation was a speech delivered by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1‚ 1863 during the Civil War.
