The very similiar effect that causes a nuclear exposion, but not to that effect. The air is removed creating a vacuum but there cannot be empty space so the air stretches to fill the void. Now if the metal can is sturdy enough to hold up enough pressure, the air molecules will stretch so far that they split apart, therefore causing a nuclear explosion. Please don't try this.

∙ 11y agoA can is crushed when the pressure outside is greater than the pressure inside, and the pressure difference is greater than the can is able to withstand. You can crush an open aluminum can with your hand. When you squeeze on the can, the pressure outside becomes greater than the pressure inside. If you squeeze hard enough the can collapses. Usually, the air pressure inside an open can is the same as the pressure outside. However, in this experiment, the air was driven out of the can and replaced by water vapor. When the water vapor condensed, the pressure inside the can became much less than the air pressure outside. Then the air outside crushed the can.

∙ 15y agoIf all the air is removed a vaccuum is created and it will pulls the sides and ends into the center of the vaccuum. If air is inside on a warm day and you seal the drum then allow it to get cold, the air inside condenses at the lower temperature and causes somewhat of a vaccuum creating the same crushed look.

∙ 13y agoif there is high pressure around the bottle then the bottle will crush. if the air inside is cooled then the air will expand and the bottle will burst. if the air inside is heated then the bottle will shivle inward.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agothis is the correct answer:The pressure of the atmosphere (14.1 pounds per square inch, I believe) crushed the can from the outside. There was no reciprocating force of air inside the can.
i checked the other answers on wiki and they're wrong.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoYes, it can because the pressure in the can has no where else to go.So the can gets crushed as the pressure findsa way out.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoBecause the air pressure is sronger than the can so it crushes it with pressure.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agoIt is crushed by atmospheric pressure
Wiki User
∙ 11y agobecause the can has no pressure inside.

Why we do not crush under air?
Equal pressure inside us.
Why doesnt air pressure crush objects?
There is air pressure on all sides, inside or outside. The air pressure pushes on the object all ways and nothing falls. If you only apply pressure on the bottom then the object will lift. If you apply pressure on the top, the object will collapse. If air pressure is pushing side ways, the object will move sideways.
Why doesn't air pressure crush an empty soft drink can as you go down a mountain?
because the pressure is the same on the outside and inside of can making the can staying the same and not being crushed
Why doesn't air pressure crush an empty soft-drink can as you drive down the mountain?
The empty soda can is not sealed so air is free to enter and leave the can. As a result, pressure inside the can is the same as it is outside.
How much pressure to crush a car?
about 5000 thousand mm.
Can air pressure crush cans?
a drinks can
Why doesnt air pressure crush an empty soda can sitting on a table in your house?
Because the air pressure INSIDE the can is the same as the air pressure OUTSIDE the can !
Why we do not crush under air?
Equal pressure inside us.
Can air crush?
Yes it can. Depending on the range of air pressure between earth and space
Why a bottle get crushed when all its air is removed?
because the air has pressure so when we crush the air is expand
Why doesn't air pressure crush an empty soft-drink that is sitting on a table in your house?
The air pressure is the same inside as outside the can.
Why doesnt air pressure crush objects?
There is air pressure on all sides, inside or outside. The air pressure pushes on the object all ways and nothing falls. If you only apply pressure on the bottom then the object will lift. If you apply pressure on the top, the object will collapse. If air pressure is pushing side ways, the object will move sideways.
How does air pressure cause a pop can to crush?
It compresses the air in or around it making it crush into itself because the air around it is being compressed so tightly togetherit has to make room for itself.
Why doesn and rsquot air pressure crush objects such as your desk?
Every day objects are surrounded by air, on all sides and inside, so all the force of the weight of the air acts equally in all directions.
Why doesn't air pressure cursh objects?
Air pressure WILL crush objects. A standard experiment is to fill a 1 gallon can with water, and then closely fit a small diameter hose to the outlet. Invert the can, and if your hose was indeed sufficiently small, the water will drain out, and the can will collapse due to the air pressure from outside overcoming the strength of the can walls. Air pressure will not crush solid objects in general for they are already as dense as they can become.
Do tsunamis have high or low air pressure?
Considering a tsunami is a never ending wall of water and debris that crush everything in their path, I would say they were high pressure, but that is water, not air pressure.
How does the air pressure in a room differ from the air pressure in a basketball?
Air pressure in a room is less than that of a basketball since it does not crush the basketball. Think of the crushed can experiment. If you empty a soda can, flip it upside down, put it (carefully) on a boiling pot of water, the can will fill with hot air. You then transfer the can on a container with cold water (making sure the opening of the can is covered with the cold water). You should see the can implode or at least the outside air pressure (since it's greater than that of the air pressure in the can) crush the can. Opposite of the basketball.
