Question

Does the volume increase with trial number, decrease with trial number, or stay about the same? Explain why you think the results are the way there are. There are many possible reasons for the data trend you see. Give some that you think are reasonable.

Answer 1

Hi. You have not informed the experiment that this question refers to and this makes it difficult for your question to be answered. However, I researched your question on the internet and was able to find a question like yours that featured an experiment that assesses the volume of balloons that have been inflated by people's breath.

With the reading of the experiment, we can see that the volume of the balloons remains the same through the number of tests. This is because our lungs tend to express the same amount of air when we blow, just as we tend to breathe the same amount of air in normal situations. This probably happened because all the balloons were filled with air, while the individuals were in the same physical and mental state, that is, they were relaxed and still, which did not change the amount of air they breathed and expelled. This volume of air would be different if the participants in the experiment were exerting some physical effort or were stressed and anxious.
