Charging a balloon is easier on a dry day because low humidity allows for more effective static electricity buildup. In humid conditions, water molecules in the air can carry away electrical charge, reducing the balloon's ability to hold a static charge. This moisture creates a conductive environment, which dissipates the charge quickly. Thus, the drier the air, the better the balloon can retain its static electricity.
What else can I help you with?
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
Why are you most likely to get shock in dry air than humid air?
Dry air is a better insulator than humid air, allowing static electricity to build up more easily. When you shuffle your feet on a dry carpet, for example, the accumulated charge is more likely to discharge as a static shock when you touch a conductive object. Humid air helps dissipate this static charge more effectively, reducing the likelihood of a shock.
Is a helium balloon heavier than air filled balloon?
No. Helium is lighter than air
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 was the hot air balloon easier to invent than the airplane?
No moving parts!
Why is it more difficult to charge an object by friction on a humid day than on a dry day?
Humid air contains more water molecules that can dissipate excess charge away from the object being charged, reducing its ability to accumulate charge. This makes it more difficult to charge an object by friction on a humid day compared to a dry day.
When a balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth the balloon becomes negatively charged because?
electrons are transferred from the wool cloth to the balloon, leaving the balloon with more electrons than protons, giving it a negative charge.
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 don't hot air balloons take flight in hot humid weather?
Hot air balloons work by heating the air inside the balloon to make it less dense than the surrounding air, allowing it to rise. In hot, humid weather, the air is already less dense, so heating it further may not provide enough lift for the balloon to take flight. Additionally, the moisture in humid air can affect the performance of the balloon's burners, making it difficult to control the temperature of the air inside.
When a balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth why does it become negatively charged?
When a balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth, electrons are transferred from the wool to the balloon, giving the balloon a surplus of electrons, making it negatively charged. Wool has a higher affinity for electrons compared to the balloon material, which results in the transfer of electrons and the creation of a negative charge on the balloon.
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 popping a balloon with a pin is easier than stepping on it with?
Popping a balloon with a pin requires less force because the pin concentrates the pressure to a small area, piercing the balloon easily. Stepping on a balloon distributes your weight across a larger area, making it harder to apply enough force to pop the balloon.
Why doesn't a compass seem to be affected by a negatively-charged balloon?
The compass would only be affected by a magnetic field. The charge on the balloon would not create the field unless there was a current flow. The charge on the balloon is called "static" because it doesn't flow.
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.
Why it is much easier to burst a balloon with needle than finger?
A needle has a small point that concentrates pressure on a small area of the balloon, making it easier to puncture the surface and burst it. In contrast, a finger has a larger surface area, distributing the force across a wider area when pressure is applied, which makes it less effective at bursting the balloon.
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
