Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the volume of a material when it is subjected to uniform pressure? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand what uniform pressure means. It is when the same amount of force is applied evenly on all sides of a material.
  • Step 2: Know that materials can change shape or size when pressure is applied.
  • Step 3: When uniform pressure is applied, the particles in the material are pushed closer together.
  • Step 4: As the particles get closer, the space they occupy (volume) decreases.
  • Step 5: This process of reducing volume due to pressure is called compression.
