The contents in the can are pressurized. When you push the button down, the high pressure propellant in the can naturally wants to flow out into the lower pressure area outside of the can. The silly string is forced out along with the propellant.

Application of boyles law?
The law says that the product of the pressure of a gas and its volume will be a constant. So if you have a gas at 1 atmosphere, a unit of pressure, in a space of 10 cubic feet, and you compress it to 1 cubic foot, the pressure will be 10 atmospheres. This means if you release the gas from the container, it will exit with great force. This is what makes spray cans and air compressors work. Here is an animation that might help. http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/aboyle.html
How does a dropper work?
If you squeeze the bulb to expel most of the air, then release it with the tip under water, the pressure in the bulb drops and external air pressure on the surface of the liquid in its container forces the liquid into the dropper. When you squeeze the bulb again, you increase the pressure and force the liquid out.
A measure of how much the volume of matter decreases under pressure is called what?
Compressibility

How do you remove silly string from anything?

How can you make a phone out of tin can and a string?
Punch holes in the bottom of two tin cans, string some string through it, tie knots at both ends, and there you have a fake telephone that doesn't work in any sense. =)
Is the first phone 2 cans and a string?
Yes , It is. The Old category of people in the year 60's to 70's use this kind of telephone. This telephone work due to the vibration of the sound from each string.
Do string telephones work?
YES!!! When the string is taut. Boy Scout string phone. Two tin cans. Take the lid of one end , and punch a small hole in the opposite end. Take your length of string , say 5m ( 15 ftt). String each end of the two tin cans and place a knot in the string so it will not fall/pull out. Each of two people to take one stringed can . Move as far apart as the string will allow to be taut. One person to place the can to his ear, and the other person to speak into the other tin can . 'Can you hear me!!!! '
How does a tin can telephone work?
Required: Two tin cans, a length of string. A small hole is made in the bottom of each can large enough for the string diameter. The string is pushed through the hole in bottom of each can and a large knot tied to prevent it from pulling back through the hole. when the string is kept taught between the cans, it is possible to transmit and receive sounds from one can to the other via the taught string. The string acts as a mechanical sound conductor. Increased efficiency can be achieved by substituting suitable wire for the string. Of course if you want to cheat - just use your I-phone!

How does the silly putty work?
Because silly putty is silly! And you are now silly for asking this question.
What gas law is applied in spraycan?
The spray cans and bottles work on Boyle's law. This law states that pressure of gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
