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 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.
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.
Is the pressure of a balloon greater on the inside or outside?
It's greater on the outside until it rises to a point in the atmosphere where the air is very thing. At that point, the pressure inside the balloon is greater which causes it to pop.
Why does a hot air balloon when the air inside it is heated?
Heating causes the air inside the balloon to expand. Some of the warm air leaves through the bottom opening of the balloon, keeping the pressure constant.
What has to happen for a balloon to inflate?
The pressure inside the balloon has to exceed the pressure outside the balloon.
Why does a hot air balloon rise when the air inside it is heated?
Heating causes the air inside the balloon to expand. Some of the warm air leaves through the bottom opening of the balloon, keeping the pressure constant.
Why does a hot air balloon rises when air inside it is heated?
Heating causes the air inside the balloon to expand. Some of the warm air leaves through the bottom opening of the balloon, keeping the pressure constant.
Does the pressure inside the bag of balloon increases or decreases?
As the bag of balloon rises, the pressure inside the bag of balloon decreases. Air pressure generally decreases as the altitude increases.
What happens when air is blown into a balloon?
Air is transferred from your lungs into the balloon, where it diffuses inside the balloon and due to the elastic tendancies causes it to expand from the pressure of the increasing amount of air you blow in.
Why balloon bursts at height?
Because of the pressure in the higher atmosphere is much lower than the pressure where it was filled. This causes the pressure inside to expand the balloon up to and past the bursting point. Most likely the tip of the troposphere.
What is the pressure inside the balloon?
It is the pressure exerted by the elastic balloon envelope and will be higher than the external pressure.
What happens to the atmospheric pressure acting on the balloon as the balloon rises?
due to pressure inside the balloon, will be higher because the balloon will try to get smaller and thus the balloon will ascent due to the low density of the helium inside the balloon.
