Here is an air-pressure-indicator system like the one you used in class. One student said, “Both the air particles and the water particles in the bottle get compressed when the jar is squeezed.” Do you agree or disagree? Explain why

I disagree. Air particles can be compressed, but you can’t change the volume of liquid water (it can’t be compressed).

The water particles in the bottle are unaffected by the jar being squeezed.
Both air and water particles expand when the jar is squeezed.
Only air particles get compressed, not water particles.

. Two students went on vacation together and flew in an airplane from San Francisco to New York. When the students arrived in New York, they opened their luggage and found that the top of the shampoo had flipped open. There was shampoo all over the clothes in the suitcase. Student A said, “How is that possible? I was really careful before I packed that bottle to make sure the top was pushed down and snapped into place.” Which explanation best explains why the top flipped open during travel, allowing the shampoo to get out of the bottle? (Mark the one best answer.)
❍ A The air in the bottle compressed as the airplane gained altitude and that caused the top to pop open.
❍ B The shampoo expanded when air pressure decreased, and took up extra space so the top popped open.
❍ C The air pressure stayed the same inside the bottle but decreased outside, so the top popped.
❍ D The plastic bottle expanded with less air pressure, so the top no longer fit tightly and popped opened.
