As a gas is compressed in a cylinder does its volume decrease?
"Force the substance into a smaller volume" is pretty much the definition of "compress".
Is a magnet matter?
No magnetism is not matter it is a force of energy caused by perpendicularly(sorry for the big word)aligned poles in specific metals. Magnetism is also caused by rapidly churning metals. Short answer: No
How can you increase the volume of a balloon without increasing the temperature?
Decrease the pressure of the surrounding environment. Thus, the force acting on the balloon from the outside decreases, allowing the air pressure that creates a force inside the balloon to have less of a counteracting force.
When a sample of gas is placed in a larger container at the same temperature what happens to the total force of the molecules hitting the walls?
The total force of the molecules hitting the walls (Pressure) will decrease if the volume is increased and the temperature stays the same. From PV = nRT, one can see that as V increases, P must decrease to maintain the same T.
What are to conditions for something to be called matter?
The conditions for 'something' to be called matter are :- 1. It should have mass and volume. 2.It should have intermolecular force of attraction 3.It should be made up of particles. If these conditions are present, then 'something' can called matter.
What describes a decrease in volume produced by a force?
Compression
What term describes a decrease in volume produced by force?
Compression

Can force change volume?
If the matter can be compressed into a denser material by this force, yes.
Is a force that attracts all matter to other matter?
I think its gravity caused by weight.
Does volume stay the same no matter where you are?
No, volume is dependent on things such a temperature and pressure. Most things contract (have a smaller volume) when they are cold and expand (have a larger volume) when they are hot. Also, if you apply pressure to a solid or a gas, you may decrease the volume. This is what happens when you put air in your tires - at some point the tire cannot expand, so you have to use pressure to force more air into the same volume.If you were to dive down to the deepest part of the ocean, the pressure from all that water on top of you would crush you, and your volume would decrease.
The decrease in the volume of an object as it cools is called?
contraction. Compression is often used when an external force is being applied to reduce the volume of the object.
What load is caused by the force of gravity?
weight weight(kg)=mass(volume) +gravity(N)
What caused matter to clump together as the solar system was forming?
Gravity and nuclear force
What is a force that attracts all matter to other?
I think its gravity caused by weight.
Can you distinguish between real force and pseudo force?
Real forces have its origin in matter such as electricity,gravitation etc.Pseudo force is caused by inertial motion such as centrifugal force.
Is a magnet matter?
No magnetism is not matter it is a force of energy caused by perpendicularly(sorry for the big word)aligned poles in specific metals. Magnetism is also caused by rapidly churning metals. Short answer: No
