Question

what happened to a plastic cup if you pressed it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

It will squeeze if you pressed it.

Answer 2

The plastic cup gets compressed and loses its shape.

• Plastics are non-biodegradable which means they cannot be degraded by microorganisms and therefore remain in the soil for a longer period of time.

• Plastic has the property of elasticity and compressibility. Due to these properties, the plastic can be shaped into another form or reused, or recycled again.

• When we apply force to plastic, it loses its original shape, therefore, the plastic forms another deformed shape.

• Some plastics are resistant to high temperatures.
