How did the volume of air in the balloon changed?
Volume and Temperature: Charles’s Law If we make the balloon very cold, it will shrink a great deal, and it expands again when it warms up. This video shows how cooling and heating a gas causes its volume to decrease or increase, respectively.
Does the volume of a balloon change?
This means that if the temperature of the gas inside the balloon changes, the volume changes in the same way. And what we mean by this is that if the temperature of the gas inside the balloon increases, the volume of the balloon increases proportionally as well.
Why did the balloon change shape?
The shape and size of balloon changes when filled with air or water because these both substances are compressible and can be compressed that is the reason of change in shape and size of a balloon.
Why does the volume of a balloon increases?
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.
How does the volume of air in the balloon affect the distance it travels?
So the bigger balloons move further because they can push more air. The bigger balloons have more “fuel” allowing them to exert force for a longer period of time. The rocket with the balloon that has a bigger volume of air travels a longer distance than smaller balloons.
What is the volume of a balloon?
| Round Latex Balloons | ||

| 36 inches | 14.134 cu. ft. | 11.872 ounces |
| 40 inches | 19.388 cu. ft. | 1 pound .286 ounces |
| 4 feet | 33.502 cu. ft. | 1 pound 12.142 ounces |
Why does the shape and size of a balloon changes when filled with air?
The shape and size of the balloon change when filled with air or water because they occupy space resulting in a change in shape.
What changes did you observe when air is filled in balloons of different shape?
If the mouth of a balloon filled with air is led open then the mass air inside the balloon is greater and the walls of balloon apply pressure on the air inside thus it comes out with a force and because of the small opening the force of air coming out increases and the balloon starts flying.
Does the shape of a balloon affect how far it travels?
Two different-shaped balloons, one oblong and the other round: when the air is released from them one travels further than the other. A larger balloon would contain more air, so, all other things being equal, we would expect the larger balloon to be able to propel itself for more time than a smaller balloon.
Does the shape of the balloon affect how far or fast the rocket travels?
The bigger balloons move farther because they can push more air. While all of your balloons pushed air out at roughly the same speed, the bigger balloons had more “fuel,” allowing them to exert force for a longer period of time.
