Why is removing air from balloon easier than removing air from bottle?
Ballons are made of an elastic plastic while a bottle in a harder plastic
Is a helium balloon heavier than air filled balloon?
No. Helium is lighter than air
What is a humid region?
A humid region is a region where humidity (moisture in the air) is greater than 50%.
What can you say about the gas inside a balloon?
The gas inside of a balloon is less dense than the air outside of it if the balloon floats. If the balloon does not float the density of the gas inside of it is equal to or more dense than that around it.
Will a balloon with argon gas sink faster then a balloon with krypton gas?
The balloon with krypton gas has a higher density than the balloon with argon gas.
Why it is much easier to burst a balloon with needle than finger?
A needle is sharp enough to pierce the skin of the balloon. A finger is not.
Why was the hot air balloon easier to invent than the airplane?
No moving parts!
Why a balloon now negatively charged?
When you rub a balloon onto your hair or piece of clothing, the balloon collects the electrons (negative charge) from the hair or clothing you rubbed it on. The balloon now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge) making it have a negative charge. The hair or clothing has more protons than electrons making it have a positive charge.
Why is it easy to remove air from balloon than glass bottle?
You can compress the volume of a balloon far easier than the volume of a glass bottle, and because it is an open system, this will release the air in the former
When a balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth it becomes negatively charged why?
When a balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth, the electrons from the atoms of the wool cloth enter the atoms of the balloon and thus, the number of electrons in the atoms of balloon becomes more than the number of protons. Hence, there is a net negative charge in the balloon, whereas in the wool cloth the number of electrons in its atoms become less than the number of protons, hence there is a net positive charge on the wool cloth.

Why don't hot air balloons take flight in hot humid weather?
I'm fairly sure this is because in order for a hot air balloon to fly, the air inside of the balloon must be much hotter than the outside air temperature.
What is the difference between the charges on a balloon rubbed in your hair and a glass rod rubbed with silk why?
There is a very big difference between the electrical charge of a balloon rubbed in a person's hair and a glass rod rubbed with silk. The charge from the balloon will just make it stick to objects. The charge from the glass rod will emit a very large electrical shock that might knock a person to the ground. This is because the glass rod is a better conductor of electricity than the balloon.
How does one produce static electricity?
When the air is dry static electricity is more enhanced and noticeable than when the air is humid. Things with the same charge repel each other. You can produce static electricity by rubbing a balloon in your hair. It will cause your hair to stand up and the balloon will be able to stick to a wall. Also if you have on rubber sole shoes and you drag them along a carpet the first person you touch will be shocked by static electricity.

Why does a balloon stick to the wall after you rub it against your hair?
It has electro static cells that form when re-peatedly rubbed wich creates friction ending with a attraction to the item of your choice. When you rub the balloon you create a static charge that is positive and the attraction that makes it stick to the wall is because the wall has a negative charge and like poles attract.
How does a balloon stay on a wall?
It depends on how long it takes for the charge to diminish so that it can no longer hold the balloon against gravity. Principal factors will be the conductivity of the balloon's material, and the humidity of the air.
