Key Stage 3
Meaning
To compress is to make something shorter or smaller in volume by applying a force.
About Compression
- Gas can be compressed easily but solids and liquids cannot be compressed because the particles in a solid and liquid are already touching.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
To compress is to make something shorter of smaller in volume by applying a force.
About Compression
- Gas can be compressed easily but solids and liquids cannot be compressed because the particles in a solid and liquid are already touching.
- A spring can be compressed to become shorter due to pair of equilibrium forces.
