What happens to the volume of a balloon when it goes deeper into the water?

The volume is dependent on pressure: as the pressure increases, volume decreases. However, buoyancy is based off of volume, so your buoyancy will decrease as you get deeper, or increase as you get shallower.

Why a weather balloon that is rising up in the air will stop at certain altitude?

The greater the altitude, the lower the density of the atmosphere. If a light balloon does not change in any way, it will eventually reach a height where the buoyancy related to the air it displaces no longer exceeds the pull of gravity. The balloon stops rising. As balloons rise, air pressure around them diminishes.

Why do balloons expand when filled with air?

Air molecules collide into the balloon with the same energy inside and outside the balloon. These molecules now collide into the balloon with more energy resulting in increased pressure. The increased pressure causes the balloon to expand.

Why does a balloon pop when it rises?

One is that atmospheric pressure is dramatically reduced at high altitudes, so a helium balloon expands as it rises and eventually explodes. If you inflate a balloon beyond its limits at room temperature, it will break into small pieces up to about ten centimetres long.

What happens to the volume or size of a balloon as it rises in the air assume the temperature to remain constant?

If the temperature is constant, if pressure goes down, volume will go up (balloon expands). If T is constant, and the pressure goes up (say you hold the balloon underwater), then V will go down (balloon shrinks). If the volume is constant (say, an aerosol can) and the temperature goes up, then P goes up.

How do you increase the volume of a balloon?

What do you think happens to the volume of gas inside the balloon? As the temperature increases, the gas particles absorb more heat energy. They speed up and move farther away from one another. So the increase in temperature causes an increase in volume.

Why does helium escape more quickly than air from a balloon?

The small, individual helium molecules can escape through the tiny holes in the latex far more easily than the conjoined oxygen or nitrogen molecules can. This is why your helium balloons deflate faster than the ones you fill with air.

Why don’t air filled balloons float or rise?

Air filled balloons don’t float or rise because well they are not lighter than air like helium filled balloons are. In both cases the balloon has a very large surface area to weight ratio- their surface areas are large compared to their weights (the weight of the air filled balloon is the balloon material itself plus the air inside).

Why is there more pressure at the bottom of a balloon?

There is more pressure on the bottom than on the top. With air, the air is the same density throughout and therefore about the same pressure. A balloon Changes its shape When filled with air or water because water and gases take shape of the container in which they are kept and they to exert some pressure on the walls of the container.

Why do balloons sink?

A balloon full of air sinks because the mass of the air inside the balloon is greater than the force of air outside the balloon. So it sinks because the air pushing back into the space does not have enough force to stop the fall of the balloon. The following further explains this phenomenon:

What happens when you inflate a balloon with helium?

However, if you inflate a balloon using helium it will quickly rise through the air. The simple reason for this is that helium is lighter, or more correctly less dense, than air. A helium filled balloon will essentially float on the air. A good way to explain this idea is to think about floating and sinking.
