Gas can be compressed easily because of space between them is big so then when compressed,the space between them get smaller.
Liquid can be compressed but you can only compress it slightly since the particles are already touching
Solid can't be compressed since their locked into place.

What causes a sonic boom when a space shuttle lands?
Sonic booms occur when an object (space shuttle) is traveling faster than the speed of sound and the air in front of the object is compressed. As the air is compressed it emits a noise, thus the sonic boom.
Why is air compressed when an object is traveling faster than the speed of sound?
The supersonic object is hitting air molecules faster than they can get out of the way, so they pile up.
What is compressed marble?
compressed marble
Which cell is most actively photosynthesising?
[object Object]
Could carbon be compressed?
all gases can be compressed
Can the area of an object be changed?
Yes. Objects can be stretched and compressed.
Potential energy of an object depends on what?
Its position. If the object is placed above the ground, its potential energy is mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the distance from the ground. If the object is a spring, it depends on how far it is streched or compressed. .5kx2, where k is the spring constant, and x is how much the spring has been compressed or stretched. There are many other forms of potential energy, but these two are probably the most common.
When molecules get closer together the object is said to?
Denser, more compact, compressed.
What will happen to an objects wavelength as the object moves toward you?
The wavelength will be compressed/shortened.
What is an example ofpotential energy?
A raised object; a compressed or streched spring; separated magnets...
What did A Archimedes figure out about buoyant force of an object?
he said that the air compressed is greater then uncompressed.
What is the potential energy called that is associated with object that can be stretched or compressed?
Elastic Potential energy
What causes a sonic boom when a space shuttle lands?
Sonic booms occur when an object (space shuttle) is traveling faster than the speed of sound and the air in front of the object is compressed. As the air is compressed it emits a noise, thus the sonic boom.
Energy stored by a stretcher or compressed object?
it is called strain energy
Is there a maximum spring constant or a limit where an object cannot be stretched or compressed?
Certainly there is a limit, considering that the object is not deformed by the power employed to compress or stretch.
Which can get compressed the most a solid and liquid or gas?
A gas can be compressed more than a liquid and a solid.
What does an objects gravitational potential energy depend on?
Its position. If the object is placed above the ground, its potential energy is mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the distance from the ground. If the object is a spring, it depends on how far it is streched or compressed. .5kx2, where k is the spring constant, and x is how much the spring has been compressed or stretched. There are many other forms of potential energy, but these two are probably the most common.
