When a balloon pops, sound is propagated from two separate events. Both involve the balloon material:
At the burst, the rubber cracks and splits. These cracks are propagated in the rubber at nearly the speed of sound for that medium (much faster than the speed of sound in air). The motion of the crack faces through the air exceeds the speed of sound in air, so a mini sonic boom is generated.
As the balloon breaks up, each torn piece contracts from its expanded condition at a rate faster than the speed of sound in air (think of the crack of a whip ), generating a separate mini sonic boom.
These two separate and distinct sonic booms happen very close together in time. We sense these two sonic events as one single occurrence and perceive a single pop.

Why does a blown up balloon make a popping sound?
The pressure inside the balloon is much higher than ambient air pressure and the transition is sudden, when the rubber breaks. This causes a shock wave to travel outwards compressing the surrounding air and making a single crack! The change is approximately adiabatic. A2 The popping sound is made partly by the tearing of the latex, and partly by the rapid deflation. If you place a strip of cellulose tape on the inflated balloon, and prick it through the tape, the balloon will deflate gradually.
What energy's are on a popping balloon?
When a balloon pops, the kinetic energy stored in the stretched rubber material is rapidly released as sound and heat energy. This sudden release of energy causes the balloon to burst.
What is the explanation for the popping of balloon using the boyle's law?
When a balloon is popped, the pressure inside the balloon suddenly decreases while the pressure outside remains the same. According to Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional at constant temperature, the sudden decrease in pressure causes the balloon to shrink rapidly, ultimately resulting in a popping sound.
How do you burst a balloon without a popping sound?
To burst a balloon without a popping sound, you can slowly release the air while applying increasing pressure on the balloon's surface. Alternatively, you can use a sharp object to create a small hole in the balloon and allow the air to escape gradually, avoiding a loud noise.
What happens if you prick the balloon without water?
If you prick a balloon without water, the air inside the balloon will escape rapidly through the hole created by the prick. The balloon will quickly deflate and likely make a popping sound.

Will a balloon that is popped on the moon make a sound?
There is no air on the moon, so the vibrations from the balloon popping have no medium to excite, so there will be no sound.

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.

Do cats like balloons?
Cats generally do not like balloons because they are unpredictable and can startle or scare them. The sound of a balloon popping or the movement of a balloon can be distressing for cats.
What happens if you prick the balloon without water?
If you prick a balloon without water, the air inside the balloon will escape rapidly through the hole created by the prick. The balloon will quickly deflate and likely make a popping sound.
Why does water prevent a balloon from popping?
The 'popping' sound of a balloon disintegrating is made by the sudden expansion of air when the skin is damaged. The compressed air within is then able to escape. One interesting variant of your 'water' experiment, is to stick a bit of cellulose tape to the balloon, and then you'll find that you may puncture the balloon; through the tape; without it popping! It will eventually deflate however.
How do you make a dog stop being scared by a balloon?
It really depends if it is the popping of the balloon or sight of the balloon. If it is the popping, then you can train the dog to tolerate that sound (i.e, build up with louder and louder noises and then introduce the popping and everyday pop a balloon near the dog and it should start tolerating it.) If it is the sight then the same rule applies. Keep showing the balloon to the dog and it should begin to tolerate it. If that doesn't work, show it things that look like a balloon, leading to the balloon itself. Hope this helps!
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.
Something that makes loud sound when pops?
A balloon, popcorn, a gun, gum, and a tire.
