An inflated balloon bursts if it is pressed hard because the molecules inside the balloon squeeze when it is pressed hard and air exerts pressure so the balloon bursts and let the air molecules escape from the balloon.

Why does a balloon burst when you press on it too hard?

When you press on a balloon too hard, the air pressure inside the balloon increases, causing the balloon to expand. Eventually, the balloon reaches its elastic limit and cannot stretch any further, resulting in it bursting.


How far can a water balloon rolls before it bursts?

This has to do, not so much with the distance, and not even with the speed, but how suddenly the balloon's speed changes - in other words, how strong you hit it. Of course, tossing the balloon farther may require more force - but then, in theory you can make it speed up gradually. - It will also depend on the specific balloon (its material, and how thick it is), and how much you fill it with water.


How do you stretch out a water balloon?

To stretch out a water balloon, gently pull on opposite ends of the balloon to gradually expand its size. Be careful not to pull too hard and pop the balloon. Another method is to fill the balloon with water and then slowly massage and manipulate the balloon to stretch it out.


Why is it the balloon will not explode when you put it on the many pins?

It takes a certain amount of force to push a pin into a balloon to pop it. When you put the balloon on the pins the weight of the balloon is creating the force pushing on it. When there are many pins this force is shared by the many pins. If the weight of the balloon were 20 milligrams and there were 20 pins, each pin would only be pushing against the balloon with a force of 1 milligram. If it takes 5 milligrams pushing a pin into a balloon to pop it no one pin is pushing that hard. On the other hand if it were resting on three or fewer pins it would pop. [NOTE: I have no idea how much balloons weigh nor how many milligrams of force pressing a pin into a balloon is required to burst it. The numbers given are for illustrative purposes only. ]


How strong is a water balloon?

I am assuming you mean how much force is required to break the water balloon on impact. Cannot be answered - it would depend on too many factors, such as how much water is in the balloon (more water would cause it to pop more easily, less water and you could be slamming that thing against a brick wall and it won't break). It would also depend on the materials used to make the balloon, and how hard you throw it, as to whether it would break on impact.

Why does Viagra cause an erection?

It relaxes a muscle that acts like a valve that's keeping the blood flow away from the penis. When the "valve" opens blood rushes out in the penis causing it to inflate and grow hard just like when a balloon is inflated.

How could you smell the liquid inside the balloon?

You could smell the liquid inside a balloon by gently pressing on the balloon to release some of the gas, then bringing the opening of the balloon close to your nose to detect the odor. Be cautious not to squeeze the balloon too hard to avoid popping it.

When is the density of a hot air balloon the greatest?

The density of a hot air balloon is the greatest when the air inside the balloon is at its maximum temperature. As the air inside the balloon is heated, it expands and becomes less dense compared to the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise.
