A squeeze bottle squeezes when pressed. It regains its shape when pressed. It regains its shape when the pressure from your hand is withdrawn. What may happen if the squeeze bottle is pressed to take the sauce out and then immediately corked tightly? Will it regain its shape? If not, Why?

The squeeze will not regain its shape

Explanation:

The squeeze bottle will not regain its shape.

This is because the atmospheric pressure compresses the squeeze bottle. Since the pressure in the squeeze bottle is now not equal to the atmospheric pressure since it has been corked tightly, its internal pressure cannot balance out the atmospheric pressure and thus cancel its effect.

So, the squeeze bottle does not regain its shape due to this imbalance of pressure.
