What causes a balloon, which is inflated but not tied on its end, to move through the air when released?
When a balloon is inflated but not tied at the end, releasing it causes the air inside to escape quickly, creating a force that propels the balloon forward. This is due to Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What else can I help you with?
What is inside the inflated balloon?
Helium goes into a balloon to make it float.
How does a balloon inflate itself?
A balloon inflates itself when air is blown into it through the opening. The pressure difference between the inside and outside of the balloon causes it to expand and take on its inflated shape.
Why is the balloon inflated and staying that way?
The balloon is inflated and stays that way because it is filled with a gas, such as helium or air, that is less dense than the surrounding air. This causes the balloon to float and maintain its inflated shape due to the difference in pressure inside and outside the balloon.
What causes the air pressure inside an inflated balloon?
The elastic contraction of the rubber in the balloon's membrane causes the pressure in the air inside an inflated balloon. When you inflate a balloon, you have to expand the latex of the balloon, which stretches when filled with air from a pressure of 760 mm Hg to as high as 840 (about 10% higher than standard atmospheric pressure). If you inflate a non-elastic mylar balloon, it takes no effort: the air inside is at the same pressure as the air outside.
When an inflated balloon is exposed to cold air the volume of the balloon?
decreases. This is because the cold air causes the air molecules inside the balloon to move slower, reducing their kinetic energy and causing the balloon to shrink.
Why when you release an inflated but untied balloon does it fly across the room?
When an inflated but untied balloon is released, the air inside the balloon pushes against the walls of the balloon, propelling it forward. This creates a force that causes the balloon to move in the opposite direction. The unbalanced forces result in the balloon flying across the room.

What happen when you keep inflated balloon in the sun for some time?
When you keep an inflated balloon in the sun, the heat causes the air inside the balloon to expand. This increased pressure can make the balloon stretch and potentially lead to it popping if the material can't handle the stress. Additionally, prolonged exposure to sunlight can weaken the balloon's latex or rubber, making it more susceptible to damage.
Why does the balloon fully inflated with air rise up vertically for some distance when punctured from below?
When the balloon is punctured from below, the air inside the balloon escapes through the hole creating a higher pressure below the balloon compared to above it. This pressure imbalance causes the balloon to move upwards momentarily before it starts to descend due to gravity.
What happens when an inflated balloon is rubbed with a wollen cloth and brought near the pieces of paper?
When an inflated balloon is rubbed with a woolen cloth, it becomes charged with static electricity. When the charged balloon is brought near pieces of paper, the static electricity causes the paper to be attracted towards the balloon due to the electric charges interacting with each other.
Why an inflated balloon gets bigger in hot water?
When the balloon is placed in hot water, the air particles inside the balloon gain energy and move faster, increasing their kinetic energy. This causes them to collide with the walls of the balloon more frequently and with greater force, leading to an increase in pressure inside the balloon. The increased pressure causes the balloon to expand and appear bigger.
Why did the inflated balloon move when the air inside it escapes?
When the air inside the balloon escapes, it creates a difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the balloon. This pressure difference causes the balloon to move in the direction of lower pressure, which is typically outwards.
Why does an inflated balloon kept under the sun burst after some time?
The heat from the sun causes the air molecules inside the balloon to expand, increasing the pressure within the balloon. If the pressure becomes too high, the balloon will burst to release the excess pressure.
