Why does a balloons change shape when squeeze it?

Balloons can be twisted into shapes because of particles of gas can be compressed.


Why does a gas have pressure?

Becuase the particles in air and the particles in gas clash into each other and sometimes they expand or/and squeeze/entangle together to create pressure. -I think-


To squeeze the particles closer together?

Under the influence of external pressure the particles are forced together. Under the particles' own gravitational force the particles come together. Technically speaking there must be an external force to bring the particles of matter together. Another point to be noted is that when the particles moves so close to together that it crosses its critical mass a black hole is developed. But not always.


Why are there more cold particles than warm particles on one side when trying to find thermodynamic equilibrium?

There are more cold particles than warm particles because the particles attract to frozen temperatures. They do this because since the colder the temperature is usually tight the molecules tighten and there is room for only the particles to squeeze.


How do molecules of a gaseous substance diffuse through the air?

gas diffuses through the air faster when their is more energy (heat) causing air particles to move and mix faster than normal when a gas is cooled the particles are forced to squeeze together there for stopping diffusion. D.Smith age 11


A gymnast jumps from a great height onto a sealed mat filled with air. What happens to the gas particles inside the mat during the impact?

The gas particles squeeze closer together


What would happen if you tried to squeeze gas into a smaller container?

the force of the particals would prevent you from doing it.


Folded mountains in the middle of tectonic plate?

Compression stress from other tectonic plates squeeze the plates, causing it to buckle in the center, and for mountains to form.


Why can air be squashed but not water?

All gases can be compressed because the particles are not close together and when you compress it, it brings the particles closer together. Liquids however, have particles which are close to each other so they can't be compressed.


What is plural of Squeeze?

the plural form of squeeze is just, well, squeeze. If you ar asking a question in which you need to use the plural form of squeeze, you ask "how many times do i squeeze this sponge?" for example.

How does the food travels down the gullet when you are lying down?

The digestive system includes muscles that squeeze the food in such a way as to drive it in the direction it needs to go; this is technically known as peristalsis.
