The thick walled glass is more likely to crack.
Glass is a poor conductor of heat. On the thick-walled glass, the inner wall expands more than the outer wall while the thin –walled glass expands uniformly.

SECTION B (55 Marks)
Answer ALL questions(c).Advantages
-Makes walking easier
-Friction between matchstick head and rough surface develops heat igniting the stick head
-Friction between brake drum and brake lining halts the vehicle
Disadvantages
-Causes wear, tear and noise between moving parts of a system
-Causes energy loss since work has to be done against it
