What else can I help you with?
A partially inflated balloon is released from the ground level and becomes larger as it rises in the atmosphere?
It is true that it will become larger as it risses in the atmosphere. This is because the pressure surrounding the balloon decreases, so the pressure inside the balloon wants to equalise with the outside pressure. This causes the balloon to expand as the inside air is trying to get out. That's why things get 'sucked out' of a plane if there if someone opens the door at 30,000 feet, the cabin pressure is trying to equalise by removing the objects and air inside it.
Why does a balloon pop as it goes up to the sky?
the pressure has increased
If a balloon is squeezed what happens to the pressure of the gas inside the balloon?
If a balloon is squeezed, then that means the volume is decreasing. Volume and pressure vary indirectly, which means that when one goes up, the other goes down. So when you are decreasing the volume of the balloon, the pressure inside is going up (assuming constant mass and temperature).
What would be the length of the arrows if the balloon were inflated more?
The length would stay the same as the pressure inside the balloon equals the atmospheric pressure.
Can you measure air pressure in a party balloon?
The air pressure inside the balloon will be slightly higher than outside. This is because the air inside the balloon is slightly compressed by the elasticity of the membrane of the balloon itself. By way of illustration, if you inflate a balloon, don't tie it and just let it go, then to everyones' amusement at parties the balloon flies crazily around the room until it is fully deflated! This fun aspect of balloons occurs as a result of the higher pressure inside the balloon escaping from the balloon to join the air in the room that is at normal pressure. Actually measuring the pressure inside the inflated balloon would require an experiment where the volume of pressurised air in the inflated balloon could be measured by a) measuring the volume of pressurised air inside the balloon by fully immersing the inflated balloon in a measuring receptacle full of water (with normal atmospheric pressure in the room pressing down on the surface of the water) and, then b) measuring the volume that the pressurised airinside the balloon would occupy once outside the balloon at normal atmospheric air pressure by inverting the measuring receptacle full of water (whilst held in a larger shallow tank of water so as to keep the measuring receptacle full of water once inverted - in the usual physics lab manner) and then release the air from the balloon into inverted water-filled measuring receptacle where it would gather in the top of the same. The difference in the two volumes would directly correlate with the difference in air pressure inside and outside the balloon.
What causes the balloon to expand when heated?
Heating the air inside the balloon causes the air molecules to move faster and spread out, increasing the pressure inside the balloon. This increase in pressure pushes against the balloon's walls, causing it to expand and inflate.
Why did the inflated balloon move when the air inside it escapes?
When the air inside the balloon escapes, it creates a difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the balloon. This pressure difference causes the balloon to move in the direction of lower pressure, which is typically outwards.
What has to happen for a balloon to inflate?
A balloon inflates when it is filled with a gas, such as helium or air, creating pressure inside the balloon which causes it to expand. The gas molecules inside the balloon push against the walls, causing it to stretch and increase in size.
If a balloon is squeezed what happens to the gas inside?
When a balloon is squeezed, the volume of the balloon decreases. This causes the gas inside the balloon to be compressed, increasing the pressure of the gas.
What causes the air pressure inside an inflated balloon?
The elastic contraction of the rubber in the balloon's membrane causes the pressure in the air inside an inflated balloon. When you inflate a balloon, you have to expand the latex of the balloon, which stretches when filled with air from a pressure of 760 mm Hg to as high as 840 (about 10% higher than standard atmospheric pressure). If you inflate a non-elastic mylar balloon, it takes no effort: the air inside is at the same pressure as the air outside.
Is the pressure of a balloon greater on the inside or outside?
The pressure of a balloon is greater on the inside because the gas molecules inside the balloon are constantly colliding with the walls of the balloon, creating the pressure that keeps the balloon inflated.
Why does a balloon pop with heat?
Heat causes more activity in the atoms inside the balloon. This causes expansion as they are bouncing around inside more than when they were cold. They need more room. The expansion causes failure in the balloon.
Why does a balloon inflate when it gets heated up by a hair dryer?
Heating the air inside the balloon causes the air molecules to move faster and spread out, creating higher pressure inside the balloon than outside. This pressure difference causes the balloon to expand and inflate.
What causes the pressure in a balloon?
The pressure in a balloon is caused by the molecules of the gas inside the balloon colliding with the walls of the balloon. As the molecules collide, they exert a force on the walls, creating pressure. Additionally, the temperature of the gas inside the balloon can also affect the pressure.
What causes pressure inside a helium balloon?
The pressure in a container is due to the particles of the gas hitting the inside walls of the container.
Why does a partially inflated balloon expand as it rises?
As the balloon rises, the air pressure outside the balloon decreases while the air pressure inside the balloon stays the same. This causes the balloon to expand because the higher pressure inside the balloon pushes against the lower pressure outside.
Why does a balloon collapses when air is removed out of it?
A balloon collapses when air is removed because the air pressure inside the balloon becomes lower than the air pressure outside the balloon. This pressure difference causes the balloon to shrink and collapse.
