A balloon is stretchy. Therefore, when air is not being forced in, the ballon will try to contract to more or less of it's original size. When this happens, the air is forced out of a balloon until the molecular structure of the balloon is simillar to how it started out.

What is the word which means to let the air out of a balloon or tire?

Deflate is to allow air to escape from a balloon.


How does air escape from a balloon while it is tied?

Air can escape from a balloon even when it is tied due to the gradual seepage of air molecules through the rubber material of the balloon. Over time, the pressure inside the balloon decreases as air leaks out, causing it to deflate.


What happens when an air filled balloon is left with its mouth downward and allowed the air to escape?

When an air-filled balloon is left with its mouth downward and the air is allowed to escape, the balloon will collapse and shrink in size. This is because the air pressure inside the balloon is greater than the atmospheric pressure outside, causing the air to rush out until the pressures equalize.


What happens to a balloon's air pressure if you pop the balloon with a nail?

When a balloon is popped with a nail, the air pressure inside the balloon rapidly decreases, causing the air to quickly escape. The sudden release of air creates a popping sound.


What will happen if the balloon is a punctured with a hole?

If a balloon is punctured with a hole, the air inside the balloon will escape, causing the balloon to gradually deflate and become smaller in size until there is no more air left.


How does air escape a balloon?

Air escapes a balloon when the pressure inside the balloon is greater than the pressure outside, causing the air to flow out through the opening of the balloon. This process continues until the pressure inside and outside the balloon equalize.


How can you prick a balloon silently and without allowing air to escape?

To prick a balloon silently and without allowing air to escape, you can use a sharp needle or pin to puncture a small hole in the balloon. By doing it slowly and carefully, you can control the release of air, minimizing noise.


Why do you close the mouth of inflated balloon?

The air would escape through the mouth causing the balloon to DEflate


What will happen if you leave a balloon over night?

A small amount of air or helium within the balloon will escape through the balloon material.


Why inflated balloon burst if press it hard?

An inflated balloon bursts if it is pressed hard because the molecules inside the balloon squeeze when it is pressed hard and air exerts pressure so the balloon bursts and let the air molecules escape from the balloon.


What kind of energy is stored in a balloon?

Potential energy is stored in a balloon when it is inflated. This potential energy is in the form of compressed air inside the balloon, and is released as kinetic energy when the air is allowed to escape and the balloon moves.


What might happen when you prick the balloon?

When you prick a balloon, the air inside the balloon will quickly escape through the hole created by the prick. This rapid release of air causes the balloon to pop or deflate depending on the size of the hole and the force of the air escaping.
