How does a balloon not pop when you put a skew stick through it?

When you put a skewer through a balloon, the rubber in the balloon stretches and forms a temporary seal around the skewer. The rubber is flexible enough to conform to the shape of the skewer without tearing, preventing the balloon from popping.


Why is it the balloon will not explode when you put it on the many pins?

It takes a certain amount of force to push a pin into a balloon to pop it. When you put the balloon on the pins the weight of the balloon is creating the force pushing on it. When there are many pins this force is shared by the many pins. If the weight of the balloon were 20 milligrams and there were 20 pins, each pin would only be pushing against the balloon with a force of 1 milligram. If it takes 5 milligrams pushing a pin into a balloon to pop it no one pin is pushing that hard. On the other hand if it were resting on three or fewer pins it would pop. [NOTE: I have no idea how much balloons weigh nor how many milligrams of force pressing a pin into a balloon is required to burst it. The numbers given are for illustrative purposes only. ]


Why is popping a balloon an example of a physical change?

Popping a balloon is a physical change because the balloon retains its original chemical composition even after it has been popped. The change is reversible, as the pieces of the popped balloon can be put back together and reinflated.


Why doesnt a balloon pop when you put a skewer through it?

When you insert a skewer into a balloon, the material of the balloon stretches around the skewer, creating a seal that prevents the balloon from popping. The surface tension of the balloon also helps to keep it intact by distributing the force exerted by the skewer.


What happens if you put a inflated balloon in the freezer?

The cold temperature in the freezer will cause the air molecules inside the balloon to contract, making the balloon shrink in size. If the balloon gets cold enough, the rubber may become brittle and more prone to popping.

How can you put a needle in a balloon without popping it?

at the part where you blow it up Take a piece of tape and place it over the outside of the balloon. Poke the needle through the tape and through the surface of the balloon. The balloon will not pop because the surface of the balloon cannot expand, thus popping the balloon.

How to avoid a popping sound from a filled balloon?

There are two ways to avoid a popping sound from a filled balloon: 1. closing your ears tightly 2. putting earplugs on your ears. I usually do #1 to avoid a popping sound from those freakin' balloons. The President should ban the balloon popping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, when a balloon's circumference is about 10 inches and the length is 31 centimeters, I would run 10 kilometers away. When I put earplugs, they always come off. So, go get yourself a balloon and stab it with a knife! Just kidding.


What are some ideas for balloon popping games?

Balloon popping games include giving everyone a balloon which they tie to their ankle, and the objective is to burst others' balloons without letting your own get burst. Another game is to put slips of paper with either Sweet or Sorry into the balloons and then blow them up, after which everyone gets 30 seconds to pop as many balloons as possible and collect their rewards at the end.

Why don't balloons pop when pricked through tape?

The tape acts as reinforcement and prevents the hole from the pin to become a rip that bursts the balloon. Without the tape stuck onto the balloon the needle prick would allow the rubber tension to rip itself apart because of the air pressure stretching the rubber which would be in tension. The tape stops the balloon being able to split and so it doesn't burst. It used to be a kids trick to put 2 pieces of tape on opposite sides of a balloon and then push a long knitting needle right through the balloon without bursting it.


How can you put glitter in a balloon without air going out of it?

One way to put glitter in a balloon without letting the air out is to use a funnel. Insert the funnel into the neck of the balloon and carefully pour the glitter inside. This will prevent air from escaping while filling the balloon with glitter.

Why doesn't a balloon pop with a needle through it?

When you insert a needle into a balloon, it creates a small hole. The air inside the balloon escapes gradually through this hole, preventing the balloon from popping. The pressure inside the balloon decreases as the air escapes, relieving the stress and preventing a sudden burst.
