Why does a securely tied balloon deflate and why is it quicker on a warm day?
A securely tied balloon will still deflate over time due to tiny holes in the material allowing air to escape through diffusion. On a warm day, the air inside the balloon expands and molecules move more quickly, causing the balloon to lose air quickly.
What causes a balloon, which is inflated but not tied on its end, to move through the air when released?
When a balloon is inflated but not tied at the end, releasing it causes the air inside to escape quickly, creating a force that propels the balloon forward. This is due to Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What happens when an air filled balloon is left with its mouth downward and allowed the air to escape?
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 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?
The air in a balloon can escape through small holes or tears in the balloon material, or when the balloon is intentionally deflated by releasing the air. When air is released from a balloon, it flows out due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the balloon.
