Question

What height cause a balloon blown up at a low altitude to burst if it is taken to a higher altitude?

Open in App

Solution

As the balloon is taken to a higher altitude, outside pressure decreases. The balloon expands because the inside pressure becomes greater than the outside pressure. If the balloon expands enough, it will burst.
