Air molecules stuck inside an inflated balloon
Chapter 14, Problem 35(choose chapter or problem)
Air molecules stuck inside an inflated balloon collidecontinuously with the inner surface of the balloon. Eachcollision provides a little push outward on the balloon.All the many collisions working together keep the ballooninflated. To get a feel for whats happening here, addabout a tablespoon of tiny beads to a large balloon (pellets,beans, BBs, or grains of rice also work). Inflate theballoon to its full size and tie it shut. Hold the balloon inthe palms of both hands and shake rapidly. Can you feelthe collisions? As you shake the balloon wildly, the flyingbeads represent the gaseous phase. How should you movethe balloon so that the beads represent the liquid phase?The solid phase?
