Answer;

Collapse

An open empty can is heated, then capped and removed from the heat. The can will collapse.

Explanation;

  • An open empty can is heated, then capped and removed from the heat. The can will implode which means to collapse inward.
  • When the can is removed from the heat, the air inside the can suddenly cools, thus condenses. As the gas cools, it looses its kinetic energy and thus a lower pressure is created inside the can. Since the gas in the can is at low pressure than the outside of the can, the can implodes or collapse inwards.
