Why does a partially inflated balloon expand as it rises?

The pressure in the balloon stays the same, but the pressure outside drops as the altitude increases. And as the outside pressure drops, the balloon expands.


What should the oil pressure be for a 2007 Dodge Charger?

It will depend on the temp of the oil. When it's cold, the pressure will seem high - but it will drop once the oil comes up to the operating temp of something like 210-225 degrees F. When driving at temp, the pressure on my 06 seems to stay around 30 or so; there is a line on that screen in the middle of the scale that it typically stays around when driving. At idle, at temp, the pressure drops off to very little.


What happens if air pressure drops?

If the air pressure drops largely, there will be rain and/or a thunderstorm. If the air pressure drops not so much, it will be partly cloudy and/or breezy. If the air pressure barely drops, and stays more of a high air pressure, it will be sunny and calm. If the air pressure is about in the middle of the Anemometer, it will be partly cloudy. Also, I did not use this from any other website, this answer is from common sense (for me). Have a good day! =)


On my 94 trans am why would my oil pressure drop dramatically when you hit the brakes well drops all the way and makes check gauges light come on but stays around normal other wise?

Could be low on oil.


Why does it stays suspended at the edge of the leaf?

Dew drops


How long does driving after suspension stay on your driving record?

Each state has there own laws on how long driving after suspension stays on your driving record. For example, a suspension stays on record for three years in California, but in Michigan it stays for seven years.


My 93 jeep grand Cherokee has good oil pressure when you start it up then it drops to zero and stays there what is wrong?

My jeep had the same issue, normally it was when it was in idle. We didn't do tests or anything but found that when we replaced the oil pressure sending unit, it fixed it. We Guessed that its the unit not the actually issue with the pressure...


What happens to relative humidity as the air temperature drops below dew point?

It stays at 100%.


Is a carbonated drink a mixture of two immiscible liquids?

No. It is a supersaturated solution of carbon dioxide in whatever it is you're drinking. The CO2 stays in solution because at the top of the container, there is CO2 at high pressure. When you open the container, the pressure in it drops to atmospheric pressure and the dissolved CO2 bubbles its way out of solution...which is what you want it to do.


How does high altitudes effect tire pressure?

The amount of air in the tire stays the same.The outside pressure drops about 3psi or 0,2 bar, when you are at about 2000 meters or 6000 feet. So you would expect that the pressure you measure is higher. But on 2000 meters height there is mostly a lower temperature, this lowers the pressure in the tire a bit. So it would not be strange if you measure the same pressure.


Will you lose pressure if a pressure switch stays on on a well?

if your pressure switch acts up at all, replace it.
