Question

spring and sponges can both be compressed why are they then considered to be solids​

Answer 1

Explanation: Though it is solid, it can be compressed when force is applied to it. ... When we compress the sponge, the air comes out and when we release the sponge air will again get trapped in the pores of sponge and sponge will regain its shape and volume immediately.

I hope this helps :)
