Question

It is easier to push the piston of a syringe filled with air than syringe with sand .why?

ANSWER IN SHORT ​

Answer 1

• It is easier to push the piston of a syringe filled with air than a syringe filled with sand because gases are more compressible than solids.

• Since gases are highly compressible, we don't need to put in much effort and can easily push the piston whereas, in case of any solid such as sand or chalk, we need to provide a greater effort as solids are least compressible.

Answer 2

Answer:

It is easier to push a piston of a syringe filled with air than with sanb because unlike solids and liquids, gases are compressible due to the less amount of particles in it.

Explanation:

In gases the particles move rapidly in all directions, frequently colliding with each other and the side of the container.
