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.
What happens when you release a balloon with air in it?
When you release a balloon with air in it, the air inside the balloon is pushed out, causing the balloon to fly through the air. This happens because the air being forced out creates a force in the opposite direction, propelling the balloon forward.
What happens to the pressure when a balloon has a leak?
When a balloon has a leak, the pressure inside the balloon decreases as the gas molecules escape through the leak. This results in the balloon deflating and becoming smaller in size.
How can balloon prick silently?
When a balloon is pricked, the release of air is usually not silent. The sound is caused by the rapid escape of air through the hole created by the pin or sharp object. For a silent release, the hole would need to be very small and the air would need to escape gradually.
What happens when you drop a balloon?
When you drop a balloon, gravity pulls it down towards the ground. As it falls, the air inside the balloon is pushed out through the opening, causing the balloon to deflate and eventually land on the ground.

What happens when a balloon gets poked with a pin?
When a balloon is poked with a pin, the sharp object creates a hole in the balloon's surface. As a result, the air inside the balloon rapidly escapes through the hole, causing the balloon to deflate quickly.
What happens when you rub a balloon through your hair?
Rubbing a balloon through your hair creates static electricity, transferring electrons from your hair to the surface of the balloon. This results in the balloon becoming negatively charged, causing it to stick to objects or repel other negatively charged items.
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.
What happens to a hot air balloon that allows it to float through the air?
Air inside the balloon is heated. Hot air is less dense than the surrounding air, and thus the balloon rises.
What happens when you swallow a balloon?
Nothing at all. Balloons will pass normally through the digestive tract with no problems.
What happens as you full down the balloon at the bottom of the model?
As you pull down the balloon at the bottom of the model, the air pressure inside the balloon increases, causing the air to be pushed out through the straw. This creates a propelling force that makes the balloon move in the opposite direction.
How can you stick a stick through a balloon?
You can stick a stick through a balloon by first inserting the stick through an uninflated balloon, then inflating the balloon while holding the stick in place to prevent it from puncturing the balloon. This creates an illusion that the stick has been pushed through the balloon.
