What causes a negatively charged balloon clinging to a wall to eventually fall?

The negatively charged balloon initially clings to the wall due to electrostatic attraction. Eventually, it could fall due to factors such as air currents, material properties, or the weakening of the electrostatic forces over time.


If you blow up a balloon tie it off and release it it will fall to the floor why does it fall instead of float?

When you release a balloon that is filled with air, the density of the balloon is higher than the air surrounding it. As a result, gravity pulls the balloon down towards the floor. The buoyant force acting on the balloon is not strong enough to overcome the force of gravity, causing the balloon to fall instead of float.


What gas put in a balloon would make it fall?

Any gas that is more dense than air.Answer:It is a bit more complex than that - an air filled balloon would still fall because air has the density of air. In a normal inflated balloon the air in the balloon is compressed and has a density more than uncompressed air. If the "balloon" were a plastic bag wiith no air pressure above the pressure of the surrounding air, the balloon would still fall as the combined (average) density of the balloon/bag system is greater than the surrounding air. Even if the balloon were filled with a gas with a lower specific gravity than air the balloon wll fall if the compressed gas density excedes that of the surrounding air or if the combined (average) density of the balloon/bag or balloon system is greater than the surrounding air.

Why does wet helium balloons fall?

Helium filled balloons eventually fall because the helium molecules escape from the envelope of the balloon, both at the neck of the balloon and through the material of the balloon itself. The same occurs with air-filled balloons but air-filled balloons do not float to begin with -- they fall to the ground no matter how much air you put in them. In order to float, the gas within the balloon must be lighter (less dense) than the gas outwith the balloon. Inflating a balloon with the same density of gas that surrounds it will not make it float upward because the weight of the balloon alone will make it fall under gravity. Moreover, the elasticity of the balloon compresses the gas within, making it much denser, and therefore heavier.

Yes


Why electron does not fall in one of the charged plate of opposite polarity when moving inside electric field?

An electron, being negatively charged, will move towards positively charged plates.

How does hot and cold air have an effect on an balloon?

If there is warm air in the balloon, cooler air makes the balloon rise and if there is cold air in the balloon warmer air makes the balloon fall.


If your riding in the back of a pickup truck and you throw a water balloon straight up where will the balloon fall?

Where you originally threw it.


How do helium balloons fall?

Helium diffuses through te balloon skin, out of the balloon, and its bouyancy therefore decreases.

There is a flap at the top of the balloon :)

Does the baseball fall slower faster or at the same rate as the balloon?

The baseball falls faster than a balloon as the balloon is lighter than air and they are both different shapes.
