Why does a balloon blast when too much air is blown into it?

if you think about it, air molecules increase more and more. And the balloon has it flexibility. But the balloon can only stretch out a far distance. Henceforth, too much air molecules from you will make the balloon pop


Why is a balloon heavier when it is blown up with air?

This depends on whether you consider what is inside the balloon to be a part of the balloon, since the weight of the balloon skin will remain the same regardless of what is inside it. If, however, you consider the contents of the balloon to constitute a part of the balloon's mass then it will always be heavier when inflated, regardless of the density of the substance with which it is inflated. However, in this case the density of the balloon will fall when inflated if the contents are less dense than the material of the balloon, which is highly likely since the substance would probably be a gas. Therefore the balloon would be heavier but less dense.


Why does a balloon filled with cold air falls to the ground?

Cold air is denser than warm air, therefore a balloon filled with cold air will weigh more than an identically sized balloon full of warm air. This extra weight causes the balloon to sink bellow warmer air. Cold air is denser than warm because as molecules become cooler they move more slowly causing them to be closer together.


Why does a balloon expand when you blow in it?

You are pushing more air into the balloon.


Medium balloon and small balloon filled with hellium which holds more heat?

Small Balloon because it is smaller the heat is compacted and closer so the smaller balloon has more heat.

Why does a blown up balloon weigh more than a flat one?

Since air is matter, it does have mass. So adding its mass to the mass of the balloon would cause the balloon to have more mass. Weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on an object and an object with more mass is "pulled" more, so the balloon with air in it would indeed be heavier than a balloon without air.

How much does a balloon weigh?

The mass of the balloon material plus the mass of the compressed gas within it. The fact that this might be less than the mass of atmospheric air which it displaces is of no consequence to this answer. But that will affect the result of any attempt to weigh it.


Does a car tire weigh more with air or the same when it's flat The tire is on a rim?

More, as long as the tire doesn't expand in such a way the the tire pressure changes only slightly (similar to a balloon). In such a case the tire would theoretically weigh more, but would be undetectable by common measuring devices, such as a spring loaded scale.


A balloon is blown up its origonal size what is the new pressure?

The same as before. Without any information you can't expect more.


What if the package of the frozen meat has blown up like a balloon does it mean the meat is bad?

More than likely the meat is bad if the package is bulging.


Why does the air in a balloon pass through the balloon into the surrounding air when it goes flat?

Pressure. You are describing a blow-up balloon, not a hot-air balloon. In a blow-up balloon, you put a lot of air in it and it is under pressure. It is under more pressure than the air around it. That means the air inside is pushing to get out. Actually, to be technical, the air on both sides is happy to go to the other side, if possible, but the pressure causes more air to leave than comes in. Once the air starts to leave, the pressure goes down and the balloon deflates. Once the pressure is the same inside and out, it will look flat.


A water balloon weighs 5 ounces. Do 8 water balloons weigh more than 1 pound yes no Submit?

If 1 water balloon weighs 5 ounces, 8 water balloons would weigh 40 ounces, which is two and a half pounds.


What weighs more a flat or full tire?

A full tire is heavier than a flat tire. When a they are both flat they weigh the same but added air makes the full tire heavier.


How can you add a gas to another gas?

I captured hydrogen through a tube in a balloon. Then, with the balloon not all the way blown up, I put some oxygen in it. When I lit the balloon with a lighted punk it exploded with more heat and force than just a balloon with hydrogen. when the two gases were in the same balloon and not exploded they were added but not combined. When they exploded they became combined. Please, do not do this unless you have an experienced lab tech helping you.


A blown up balloon is carried up a high mountain will it get bigger or smaller explain why its volume changes?

As balloons increase in altitude, there is less atmospheric pressure pushing on it, so the result is that the balloon expands. The opposite is true, if you sink a balloon in water there is more pressure on the outside of the balloon so it shrinks.
