Explanation

• A change of 1 Kelvin (K) is equal in magnitude to a change of 1 degree Celsius (°C).
• Therefore, a rise of 10 K equals a rise of 10°C.
• The numerical values of Kelvin and Celsius differ when expressing an actual temperature, but their temperature intervals are equal.

Explanation

• Strain is the ratio of the change in length to the original length of a material when a force is applied.
• It measures the relative deformation of a material.
• It has no unit, because it is a ratio of two lengths.

Explanation

• Surface tension decreases as temperature increases.
• Higher temperature increases the kinetic energy of liquid molecules, weakening the effect of intermolecular cohesive forces at the surface.
• Surface tension becomes nearly zero at the critical temperature, where the distinction between liquid and gas disappears.
• Water has a surface tension of approximately 72.8 mN/m at 20°C.
