Up, up, and away!
A helium balloon rises rapidly until one of two things happens due to the falling air pressure with rising altitude: the balloon expands and pops and the remnants fall back to earth, or the balloon reaches an altitude where it can't rise further and the high altitude winds carry it off. Eventually if it has not popped the helium will slowly escape and it will fall back to earth. By the time it does fall back to earth it is usually hundreds to thousands of miles from where it was released.

How can a balloon pump model breathing?

because when you breath in the balloon then the balloon goes biger and and when you let go of the balloon then the air comes out its exactly like our breathing system


Why does a balloon fly all over when you let it go?

If there's a fan in the room or the air is moving, the balloon will move with it.


Why do you have to hang onto your helium balloon?

Helium is lighter than air, so it makes the balloon float. If you let go of the balloon, it will float up into the atmosphere because of the difference in density between the helium inside the balloon and the air outside.


Where does energy go when you let a balloon go?

When you let a balloon go, the stored potential energy in the stretched rubber is converted into kinetic energy as the balloon moves through the air. Some energy is also transferred as sound, heat, and air turbulence.


How long does a balloon decompose?

When you let go of a balloon the air that is inside of it makes it fly up.It is impossible for it to go up to space.If its without helium then it takes about 6 days.


If you let the air out of a balloon what will happen to the balloon?

If you let the air out of a balloon, it will deflate and decrease in size as the pressure inside the balloon equalizes with the external pressure.


What type of energy is produced by the elastic potential energy of a balloon that is blown and then let go?

The elastic potential energy of a balloon that is blown and then let go is converted into kinetic energy as the balloon moves due to the release of stored energy.


What happens to gas when it is put inside a balloon?

It depends what type of gas it is. With air inside a balloon will just stay still, will be easy to lift and when you kick it like a ball it will slowly go up and then come back down again. If you have helium in a balloon, the balloon will try to go to the highest point it can get, if you go outside and let go of a balloon it rise and go far above the clouds until the balloon starts to wear out so the helium starts to slowly come out so the balloon slowly comes down.


An inflated balloon sufficiently weighted with a brick floats just at the surface of a lake if the balloon is brought down 1 meter below the surface and then let go will it go back to the surface?

yes


A balloon filled with helium rises when you let go A balloon filled with carbon dioxide sinks Why?

CO2 is heavier than a mixture of 75% nitrogen and 20% oxygen.
