The air pressure got to be less. The balloon expanded to the breaking point.
Yes, if a balloon is filled with gas and is overinflated beyond its capacity, it can explode due to the pressure build-up inside. This is a result of the balloon's material being unable to contain the expanded gas volume, causing it to burst.
A meteorological balloon filled with gas lighter than air, such as helium or hydrogen, is used to carry weather instruments into the atmosphere to collect data on temperature, humidity, and pressure. As the balloon ascends, it expands due to decreasing air pressure, eventually bursting at high altitudes, causing the instruments to fall back to the ground for retrieval and analysis.
I would say an air filled balloon if you fill it with just plain air. I am basing this on the principle of osmosis and diffusion. A substance such as a gas will travel from an area of increased concentration, such as a balloon filled with helium, to an area od decreased concentration, such as the room the balloon is in. If you fill the balloon with air identicle to that in the surrounding room it negates diffusion.
Contemporary weather balloons are usually filled with helium. Helium is lighter than air, and this allows the balloon to rise as this gas is lighter than air.Hydrogen would also work as it has a low density, like helium. And hydrogen is a bit cheaper than helium because it can be "made" from water. But hydrogen is flammable or even explosive, and it is generally not used for that reason.
It depends on what the balloon is filled with.A balloon may float if it is filled with any gas that is less dense than air: hydrogen, helium, even pure nitrogen gas. However, the weight of the balloon will determine whether it can be lifted by the difference in density. So the most effective lifting gases are hydrogen and helium. Helium is used because it is nonflammable and noncorrosive. Early German dirigibles (zeppelins) were filled with hydrogen, and some caught fire, notably the Hindenburg in 1937.Larger balloons can be lifted by hot air, which is less dense than cooler air. If the air cools again, it will no longer provide lift.
Just a met balloon - meteorological balloon. Generally filled with hydrogen.
A balloon filled with hydrogen rises until it reaches a level in the atmosphere where the air pressure outside the balloon is equal to the pressure inside the balloon. At this point, the balloon stops rising because the difference in pressure is no longer enough to overcome the force of gravity pulling it downward.
A hydrogen balloon will deflate the fastest because molecules of hydrogen are the smallest and thus will more easily slip through the latex of the balloon. The carbon dioxide-filled balloon will deflate the slowest because these molecules are the biggest, and thus will have more trouble escaping the tiny pores in the balloon.
They could be, but generally are not. Hydrogen can be an explosive gas in our atmosphere, and a spark could cause the balloon to ignite and explode. In 1937, the airship Hindenberg, which was filled with hydrogen, did so. Children's party balloons are generally filled with helium.
Hydrogen.
A balloon filled with hydrogen gas floats in air because hydrogen is lighter than air. The buoyant force acting on the balloon is greater than the gravitational force pulling it down, allowing it to float.
no it will not. because a balloon filled with hydrogen floats only because it is lighter than air so when there is a vacuum it will not float. it is like oil and water if there is no water oil is on the bottom if there is water it is on the top.
As the helium-filled balloon rises into the atmosphere, the surrounding air pressure decreases while the pressure inside the balloon remains the same. This causes the helium inside the balloon to expand, making the balloon increase in size. Eventually, the balloon will reach a point where the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the balloon will be equal, and it will float at that altitude.
James Glaisher made his balloon with silk fabric coated in rubber to make it airtight. The balloon was filled with hydrogen gas for buoyancy.
If you are comparing two balloons side by side, a hydrogen balloon will have more lift than a helium balloon of the same size and construction.If you open the balloons, the hydrogen is flammable, while the helium is not.
Yes, sound can pass through a balloon filled with air. The sound waves will travel through the air inside the balloon and vibrate the balloon's surface, creating sound on the other side.
Hydrogen is less dense than air, ergo it floats. Air is of the same density as air, but the rubber skin around it makes it more dense, ergo it sinks.
