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 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.


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 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 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.


How does the air which is in a balloon escape from that balloon?

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 a hot air balloon?

At the end of a hot air balloon flight the heated air inside is allowed to escape through a panel that is opened either in the top or side of the balloon envelope. The crew then squeezes the remaining air our of the envelope and then packs it away in a large bag ready for the next flight. This process is called deflating the balloon

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 do you close the mouth of inflated balloon?

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


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 if a hole gets in a hot air balloon?

If a hole forms in a hot air balloon, the hot air inside the balloon will escape, causing the balloon to lose altitude. The pilot will need to release more heated air or descend to land safely. Regular inspections and maintenance help prevent holes in hot air balloons.
