5. What happens to the steam inside the crunching can that causes it to collapse when placed in a dish of water?

When the can is put in the cold water, a partial vacuum is created, crushing the can. The Details: The collapsing can demonstrates that things contract, or get smaller, when they get cold. It also shows that the atmosphere exerts pressure.

Explanation:

Negative air pressure due to the hot air cooling down and since steam or hot air expands when it gets cooler it pulls together and collapses the can. please mark me brainiest  

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
