When a balloon is deflating, why does air leave the balloon?

Physics
1 answer:
Gwar [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<em>When a balloon deflates air moves out of the balloon </em><em>because the pressure inside the balloon is higher than the pressure outside the balloon.</em>

Explanation:

An inflated balloon has a high pressure region on its inside. Gases always move from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure. When a balloon is inflated its membrane stretches making it even more porous.

The gas molecules inside the balloon easily diffuse out through this membrane. The diffusion rate may differ depending on the type of gas filled inside the balloon and the material of the balloon. For example helium balloon deflates faster than common air balloon.

This is because helium is a light element and can escape easier than gases like nitrogen and oxygen through the porous membrane of the balloon.

Which do you think will penetrate farther into a block of lean, x-rays or gamma rays? Explain your reasonings.
bagirrra123 [75]
I dont know if you mean lead instead of lean .
anyway i think <u>gamma rays</u> will penetrate further 
this is because gamma rays are very penetrating , they have a shorter wave lenght than X-rays because the energy which produced them is greater . 
Although both are similar but X-rays will become weaker and less penetrating when passing through a block of lead unlike the gamma rays eventhough it might reduse their intensity  > but both will never stop ! . 
This is a hard question!!  'cause both are similar but as i said i think gamma rays will penetrate further
