A sponge contains a lot of pore space that are filled with air or water at any given time. Squeezing a sponge temporarily collapses these pore spaces and forces the air or water out.
no, spongebob is a sea sponge.
A sponge has minute holes , in which air is trapped , when we press it , the air is expelled out and we are able to compress it
You can only compress it to its existing volume (which you can't change without changing the density). The key is that a sponge isn't completely solid, it has pockets of air throughout it. Thus, you can compress those pockets of air and never change the volume of the actual solid.
Sponges are compressible because they are porous and made up of interconnected air pockets. When pressure is applied to a sponge, the air within the pores is forced out, allowing the sponge to compress.
If a sponge is placed through a sieve, the sponge will likely get stuck in the sieve's mesh due to its size and inability to compress easily like a liquid or fine particles. It may require manipulation or cutting to remove the sponge from the sieve.
One of the synonyms for "compressible" is "squeezable". I've noticed that a sponge is more compressible when it is soaking wet.
Yes, it is possible but the natural sponge is expensive; artificial sponge is frequently used as heat insulator.
Sponge is solid because its particles are closely packed together, but it is compressible due to the nature of its porous structure. The empty spaces or pores within the sponge allow it to easily deform and compress when pressure is applied, making it squishy and flexible.
Sponges mostly have no symmetry, but it is possible to have a sponge that exhibits radial symmetry. They never have bilateral symmetry.
When a sponge is pressed, it compresses and expels the water or liquid it has absorbed. The sponge's porous structure allows it to collapse under pressure, forcing the liquid out through its openings. Once the pressure is released, the sponge returns to its original shape, reabsorbing water as it expands back to its full volume. This ability to compress and expand is what makes sponges effective for cleaning and absorbing liquids.
Yes it is, it is a solid with many air holes so you can compress it, but then it goes back into it original shape. Unlike Liquids and Gases, which cant.
A possible answer could be a sponge.
