What else can I help you with?
How do expansions of a solid compare to a liquid?
Very well, actually. Solids and liquids do not expand or compress very well at all. Whereas gases do. This is why we can use pistons and hydraulics, since liquids and solids do not compress much at all under pressure, unlike a gas. Essentially, they are extremely similar in this respect.
Why are gas can be compressed into smaller volume but solid cannot?
Gases have much more space between particles compared to solids, which allows them to compress into a smaller volume. In solids, particles are packed tightly together in a fixed arrangement, limiting their ability to be compressed further.
Have humans invented black holes?
No. We do not have the means to compress matter so much.
What rock is harder than sandstone?
Granite is typically harder than sandstone. Granite is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling of molten magma, making it more dense and resistant to abrasion compared to sandstone, which is a sedimentary rock.
What is the hardest known material?
The hardest substance known is Lonsdaleite. The reason it is so strong is because it has a hexagonal unit cell, related to the diamond unit cell in the same way that the hexagonal and cubic close packed crystal systems are related. The 'diamond' structure can be considered to be made up of interlocking rings of six carbon atoms, in the chair conformation. In lonsdaleite, some of the rings are in the boat conformation instead. Lonsdaleite is simulated to be 58% harder than diamond and to resist indentation pressures of 152 GPa, whereas diamond would break at 97 GPa. Lonsdaleite is found in nature inside of meteorites that were made of graphite became superheated as it entered the Earth's atmosphere and then slammed into the ground with a great enough pressure to force the atoms into a hexagonal structure. I thought it was carbon nanotubes or carbon nanorods.
Why is air displaced by water?
Air is displace by water because water is much denser than air and therefor is much harder to compress.

Is platinum harder than bronze?
Platinum is slightly harder than bronze, and much more valuable.
Which one would compress more bubble wrap or pacifier?
Bubble wrap would compress more because it is designed to be pressed down to protect fragile items during shipping. A pacifier is made of silicone or latex, which doesn't compress as much as the air pockets in bubble wrap.
Why is it harder to stop a train then a car?
The train weighs more, much more.
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.
How do you inflate a rubber ball?
If it is a solid rubber ball it is not inflated. A hollow ball can be inflated. The more pressure inside, the "harder" the ball will be and the higher it will bounce. To much pressure and you risk rupturing the "rubber" bladder.
Why can't solid be compressed?
Solids CAN be compressed but, compared to gasses, it's very difficult to tell. Solids, like liquids, are more difficult to compress than gasses because their atoms are much closer together and impart proportionally more force on each other
Why are gas can be compressed into smaller volume but solid cannot?
Gases have much more space between particles compared to solids, which allows them to compress into a smaller volume. In solids, particles are packed tightly together in a fixed arrangement, limiting their ability to be compressed further.
Why is it harder to walk on water than on land?
Water is heavier than air and is harder to push against resulting in a harder work-out. For this reason atheletes and horses are sometimes trained in water, this gives them a harder work-out, making their performance on land that much easier.
Which is harder - trig or calculus?
Opinion: Calculus is much harder, mostly because of it's complexity. Calculus requires much more formula memorization and ingenuity.
Is birch or rubber harder?
Birch is much harder.
