When a can is crushed, the volume decreases due to the change in shape. The material inside the can gets compacted, reducing the amount of space it occupies. The actual change in volume depends on the extent of the crushing.

Does the mass of something change when it is crushed?

no its got the same amount of density therefore its mass if the same.


How does the density of the metal in a crushed can compared with the metals density before the can was crushed?

The density of the metal in a crushed can remains the same as the density of the metal before the can was crushed. While the volume of the can decreases when it is crushed, the mass of the metal remains constant. Therefore, the density, which is mass divided by volume, remains unchanged.


When an aluminum can is crushed did it undergo a physical change or a chemical change?

When a aluminum can is crushed, it undergoes a physical change, because even though the object got crushed and misshaped it still has the same identity.The identity has never changed.


Did the chemical change or a physical change cause the change in the crush can appearance?

The change in the crushed can appearance was caused by a physical change. When the can is crushed, the arrangement of its particles is altered, but no new substances are formed.

What happens to the volume of a loaf of bread that is squeezed?

Of course. Like anything, when bread is crushed, its density increases. Anything that is crushed will have higher density in its crushed state. The only things that you can crush and NOT (permamently) increase their density are those that return to their original shape after being crushed. The increase in density is due to the fact that there is more bread in a smaller volume. When you squeeze the bread, you squeeze out some of the air, reducing its volume while maintaining its mass. Density = mass/volume.


How does the density of the metal in the crushed can compare with the density of the metal before the can was crushed?

The density of the metal in the crushed can remains the same as the density of the metal before it was crushed. Density is an intrinsic property of a material that does not change with physical alterations like crushing. So, the density of the metal in the can will not change due to the crushing process.


What physical quantities discussed in this chapter change most when a junked car is neatly crushed into a compact cube?

Some of the physical quantities that change the most when a junked car is crushed into a compact cube include volume, density, and structural stability. The volume of the car decreases significantly as it is crushed, leading to a much higher density in the compact cube. The structural integrity of the car is also altered, with the transformation from a complex shape to a simple cube impacting its stability and strength.
