As is the case with most liquids, water resistance being compressed due to forces between molecules that prevent them from being pressed closer together. However, water can be compressed, but it will take a large amount of pressure for a minimal amount of compression.

Why water tends to resist changes in temperature?

Water is highly cohesive. Its molecules tend to resist increases in their motion. When water is heated, some of the energy is used to disturb the hydrogen bonds between neighboring molecules.


What is the strongest structure?

It depends on the kinds of stresses the structure is expected to resist. To resist cantilever stresses (bending - a combination of compression, tension, and sheer), the octet-truss is the strongest possible structure. To resist only tension a straight line, such as a cable, is the optimum structural geometry; and to resist only compression a lorimerlite framework is the strongest structural geometry.


What is water capacity to resist rupturing due to presence of hydrogen bonding is called?

Water's capacity to resist rupturing due to the presence of hydrogen bonding is called cohesion. This property allows water molecules to stick together, forming a high surface tension that helps prevent the rupture of water droplets.


A structure that is designed to withstand compression?

A concrete column is a classic example of a structure designed to withstand compression forces. Its cylindrical shape and material properties allow it to efficiently resist compressive loads without buckling or failing. The design includes reinforcing bars to provide additional strength and durability.


Why do solids and liquids resist compression?

The molecules of a substance in solid or liquid form are packed close enough together so that there is not much space between them. This means that pressure applied on the material makes virtually no difference.

A strut is a rod or bar designed to resist compression.


Is the solid of matter in which a material is most likely to resist compression?

Yes


The state of matter liquid solid or gas which a material resists compression?

Solids resist compression because their particles are tightly packed together in a fixed position, providing structural stability. Liquids and gases, on the other hand, can be compressed since their particles are more free to move and are not held in a fixed position.


What is compressional strength?

Compressional strength is strength to resist compression (squashing) This is different to resisting tension (pulling). Some materials, such as concrete, are good at resisting compression but not tension.


Why are walls able to resist water?

Walls are able too resist water because the walls are water proof!


What state of matter is a material most likely to resist compression?

A material is most likely to resist compression as a solid. In solids, the atoms are closely packed together in fixed positions, which makes it difficult to compress them. Liquids and gases are more easily compressible because their particles are more loosely arranged.


How liquids flow?

Liquids flow because they have the ability to resist compression. The rate at which it flows depends on the viscosity of the liquid.


How do bones resist both compression and tension stress?

Bones can resist compression because it is made up of extracellular matrix and cells. Bones are also flexible and strong.


Why can you not compress 2 liters of water into 1 liter?

water is a non compressible fluid. The molecules will resist compression much more than those of a gas. You can compress it, but only with an insane amount of force, much more than any human or machine couldaccomplish.

What are compression pumps used for?

Compression pumps are used depending on the need for it. Compression pumps can be used in water pipes to regulate the water pressure. Compression pumps can also be used in air pipes and ducts to regulate the pressure in the air.
