That means they crash.
Matter refers to something that takes up space. One of the ways that matter operates is that no two things can occupy the same space at the same time.
Volume = how much space an object occupies, that nothing else can occupy at the same time.
anything with matter takes up space. two objects cannot occupy the same space, I mean it wouldn't be funny if that guy not paying attention just walked through the pole instead of smashing into it right? So, when you drop a rock in the cup, the cup still only has the same amount of space to give up, but now the rock and the water are competing for that space. Well the rock is denser, so it sinks, pushing the water out of the way and causing it to rise. If you want to see this happen where the water wins, try putting a ping pong ball in the glass. You'll notice now its the water that remains in the glass and the ball that is sticking out of the cup.
The stone is heavier than the same volume of water. In short the density of the stone is more than the water. So the stone does not float on the water.
When two or more waves occupy the same space at the same time, an interference pattern is created.
No two units of matter can occupy the same space at once. This is one of the primary properties of matter.
No. With large objects it is easy to see that they cannot occupy the same space. Smaller objects can appear as if they can occupy the same space but, at the molecular level they cannot. For example, you can dissolve sugar in a glass of water and it looks as if they are both occupying the same shape - but they are not. At the sub-atomic level, the Pauli exclusion principle prevents objects (electrons) occupying the same space.
impenetrability
Two electrons can occupy the same space orbital in an atom if they have different spins. This is known as Hund's Rule.
One cubic meter of space is exactly the same thing as 1,000 liters of space,regardless of what's in it. Even if it's empty.
That means they crash.
Heat does not occupy space, as heat is just particles vibrating more rapidly. However, if you heat something up, it will occupy more space, due to its particles vibrating over a wider area. Light is much more complicated due to the weirdness of quantum mechanics. Light is made of photons. They're particles but not in the same way that molecules, atoms, electrons, neutrons and protons are. Light can behave like waves of energy instead of particles. Normal particles such as electrons occupy a bit of space and 2 of them cannot occupy the same space at the same time. A photon occupies the bit of space it's in, sort of, but another photon can occupy the same space at the same time. So if you have an electon-sized space you can put only one electron in it. If you have a photo-sized space you can put as many photons into it as you want.
No, and in fact MANY do.
Because no two objects can occupy the same space at the same time. (ie a crash)
