The word 'compress' is the opposite of 'expand'.
Solids CAN be compressed but, compared to gasses, it's very difficult to tell. Solids, like liquids, are more difficult to compress than gasses because their atoms are much closer together and impart proportionally more force on each other
its difficult but you have to compress alot of it. over 50 psi should reduce sound of a rifle just be carefull not to shoot the supressor or it will explode. but if you are looking for heat insulation, all you have to do is lightly compress the air and then run hot air into it while the cooler air comes out for reheating. water is better for heat insulation :3
Yes.
A brick.
yes
No. You can compress a gas because the particles are NOT close together. If they are close together (as in a solid) it is extremely difficult to compress any further.
Solids and liquids are difficult compress. Gases, however, are easy; they respond to changes in temperature and volume.
Liquids are difficult to compress because of their molecules. Since their molecules are already tightly packed together, they cannot be compressed much more. Doing so can only slightly alter their volume.
Our patio needs replacing. How difficult is it to construct a patio with brick pavers?
Yes, liquids are hard to compress. That's what makes hydraulics so useful when it comes to the transfer of force. Hydraulics can lift thousands of pounds with minimal effort.
It is difficult to compress atoms into smaller volume because of the electromagnetic repulsion that would occur as they got too close. Some solids do have enough free space in between their atoms to be compressed some.
Shutters can be installed on brick homes, but it is more difficult than on siding or mortar. Window shutters can indeed be installed on a brick home,professional installation will be needed.
There are several different types of wall texture that can make it difficult to paint on, particularly walls that are not flat. Wallpapered or brick walls can be difficult.
atoms in solids are arranged in a fixed pattern's it is very difficult to compress them and change their shapes
It is not possible to answer the question without information about the measurement units used for 40x40. And it is difficult to guess because a 40 inch x 40 inch brick would be huge whereas a 40 millimetre x 40 millimetre brick would be tiny.
you have spelt it correctly
