Best Answer

Assuming the taps are physically identical and the pipes leading to each tap are of a consistent size as well (and that the two are both fed directly from the same main with no intermediate Plumbing weirdness), the downstairs tap should have a (slightly) higher water pressure. Each foot of difference in height between the two taps will make a difference of a bit over two-fifths of a pound per square inch of water pressure.

Why does a bucket gets filled faster by the tap on the lower floor than that on the top floor?

How does heat affect the particles in a balloon?

when a balloon is filled up with air and then heated. remember that the particles of air are free to move. so when it is heated the particles will gain more energy and they stars to move faster. when there is too much energy between the particles they escape by popping the balloon. the more heat the more faster the particles move. it wil be the same process if the ballon is filled up with water and then heated.(water and air particles are heated up by convection currents.) if you heat just a ballon then the ballon will melt because of the property of the meterial it is made of. hope i helped:)
