Water is very good at soaking up heat. When the water-filled balloon is heated the water Draws the heat away from the rubber.

For the air filled balloon, not so much. The rubber heats up, weakens, and breaks.

What is the thermometric property used in a mercury thermometer?

Not just a property of liquid but of all matter. All matter expands when heated and contracts when cooled, in thermometers the liquid, usually an alcohol, expands when heated lengthening the little line.


What makes water stay in water balloons?

Water balloons are usually made of a material that is impermeable to water, such as latex or rubber. When filled with water, the material stretches to contain the water and creates a seal that prevents it from leaking out. The elasticity of the material allows the balloon to expand as it is filled with water, while maintaining its shape to hold the water in place.


Little girl sits in a car at a traffic light holding a helium-filled balloon?

The balloon will rise due to the helium's buoyancy force. As the car accelerates or decelerates, the balloon may move towards the front or back of the car, but it will maintain its upward movement due to the helium gas.


How do you make a balloon filled with air fly straight?

Put a straw in the end of it and blow into the balloon. That should make it fly straight although make sure you don't use helium and make sure there is as little of wind around as possible. From Matthew


Why is Mercury good in thermometers?

Mercury expands when heated, and the rate at which it expands can be calibrated in a thermometer to fit to a scale, which you see as the markings in the thermometer. We use mercury because of its ability to expand with just a little amount of heat. Because mercury is poisonous, we now use alcohol thermometers. Alcohol is just as good as mercury because it expands when heat is applied to it as well.


Why does a solid expands on heating?

The particles in a solid, move very little. But when it is heated, the particles expand because the heat moves the particles around more, making them need more space to move, therefore expanding the solid. =)

Why are hot air balloons able to rise into the air?

Hot air balloons rise because when the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense than the surrounding cooler air. This difference in density creates lift, causing the hot air balloon to float upward.

What is the difference between a full and an empty balloon?

A full balloon contains more gas than an empty balloon (even an empty balloon contains a little air). Therefore a full balloon is heavier than an empty balloon (assuming the balloons are the same weight to begin with). However, if filled with a lighter-than-air gas, such as helium, the full balloon will defy gravity due to its increased buoyancy. The only other difference is that the skin of a full balloon will be stretched and will therefore be much thinner than the skin of an empty balloon. This stretching increases the pressure upon the gas contained therein, therefore the gas is compressed inside the balloon.
