It is difficult but it can be done! Solids have very little ability to compress. The textbook answer in a beginning course would be 'no' or 'very little.' The textbook answer in an advanced course might require understanding of what occurs with solids under extreme pressure. For example, solid carbon under great pressure crystallizes and changes over time to diamonds.
A simple experiment to show the compressibility of a solid is to take a metal gong and strike it. Compression waves within the gong result in sound waves in the surrounding air. If the solid gong could not be compressed it would not reverberate in the air.
What else can I help you with?
Can a solid be compressed?
No. Because the solids have no space to travel into.
Steam can be compressed while ice can not why?
Ice is a solid and steam is a gas
Why can you compress a gas but not liquid or a solid?
The question is based on the misconception that liquids and solids cannot be compressed: they can. The molecules of gas are further apart allowing them to be compressed more easily.
How are different types types of spectra created?
The different types of spectra are created by light shining through a prism, a glowing solid or liquid, or by a compressed/non-compressed glowing glass.
What is the difference between Bamboo floors vs floating floors?
There are three types of wood flooring: solid, engineered, engineered floating. Solid is natural wood usually 3/4" thick. Engineered is solid piece of wood on top of compressed wood the wood is usually 1/4" thick and the compressed wood is anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2" thick. Engineered floating is thin solid piece of wood on top of compressed wood, it is thin enough so during installation it does not have to be attached to the subfloor. The solid wood is usually about 1/8" thick and the compressed is 1/4" thick. All these three types come in all different types of wood species such as bamboo.
Which can get compressed the most a solid and liquid or gas?
A gas can be compressed the most out of solid, liquid, and gas because its particles are more spread out and have more space between them, allowing them to be compressed further. Liquid can be compressed slightly, while solids are generally considered to be incompressible.
A gas but not a liquid or a solid can be?
Compressed.
What kind of solid can be compressed?
lead
What is un solid?
unsolid means something that can be compressed. but the correct word for it is not solid.
a solid has a fixed ---and cannot be?
A solid has a fixed shape and volume and cannot be compressed
If a solid is stretched or compressed beyond the point that it can return to its original shape it has passed its?
When a solid is stretched or compressed beyond the point that it can return to its original shape it has passed its elastic limit.
Can a solid be compressed?
No. Because the solids have no space to travel into.
What does solid?
definite shape,definite volume,cannot be compressed.
What is a solid and can be compressed?
Ice is a solid that can be compressed under high pressure. Despite its rigidity and density, ice can undergo compression due to the rearrangement of its crystalline structure when subjected to significant force.
What can't be conpressed?
solids cannot be compressed at all, if you compress a liquid enough it will become a solid by freezing, gasses can be compressed however if compressed enough it will become a liquid
Steam can be compressed while ice can not why?
Ice is a solid and steam is a gas
What is a description of a solid substance?
A substance that cannot be compressed of manipulated easily.
