Why doesn't an inflated balloon shrink when heated?

Because as the balloon is heated, the gases on the inside of the balloon begin to expand and press out on the walls of balloon. If a balloon is refridgerated, the opposite is true: the gases on the inside of the balloon will begin to contract, causing the balloon to shrink.


Why inflated balloon burst if press it hard?

An inflated balloon bursts if it is pressed hard because the molecules inside the balloon squeeze when it is pressed hard and air exerts pressure so the balloon bursts and let the air molecules escape from the balloon.


Wherever the balloon is what can you say about the pressure of the air inside and outside the balloon?

Usually, the air pressure inside a balloon is very high because the plastic outer shell of a balloon wants to contract and press the air into a small space. High in the atmosphere, air pressure is much lower than on the ground. When the air pressure outside a balloon is bigger than the air pressure inside, the balloon switches from wanting to push in on the air to the air pushing on the balloon. as this happens to some parts of a balloon and not others, it is uneven and the balloon pops.Answer:There are two distinct cases:For child's rubber balloon the air inside is at higher pressure because it is being squeezed by the rubber that wants to return to its original size. Just like you have to apply pressure to a rubber band to keep it stretched.In the case of hot air balloons the pressure on the inside of the balloon is the same as the atmospheric pressure. The balloon in this case is like an upside down bucket of air that would like to rise. It fills the container but shares the pressure of its surroundings.


Is pressure a contact or non-contact force?

Physical Pressure, as in press down or against something, is contact.


What do you mean by action and reaction with example?

Consider a bird flapping its wings. As it flaps down it's careful to press against the air; this is the action. The reaction is that the air lifts the bird higher. (Of course the bird is careful to angle its wing so that it does not press upward against the air as it comes up.)
