Question

You are trying to make balloon sculptures. You twist the balloons gently, but they keep popping. Besides trimming your nails, how could you you prevent that? Why will your strategy work?

Answer 1

Answer:

              By decreasing pressure.

Explanation:

                      In order to prevent balloons from popping while making sculptures, it is suggested to decrease the pressure of air in parent  balloon. Decreasing the pressure of parent balloon will allow it to twist easily and make designs.

This strategy will work according to Boyle's Law which states that, "Pressure and Volume are inversely proportional to each  other at constant temperature".

Mathematically,

                                       P ∝ 1/V

Or,

                                       P = k/V

Or,

                                       PV = k

Hence, as the new designs made after twisting are of less volume, therefore it is good to decrease the pressure in advance otherwise the resulting less volume will increase the pressure of daughter small balloons  and will explode them.

Answer 2

I would simply remove some air from the balloons because with less air pressure the balloons will be less tight and more twistable without popping so by doing this it will be possible to sculpt the balloons into varied shapes successfully.
