Q

What happens tot he size of a balloon when you cool it down and why?

A

It decreases in size.

The gas pressure in the balloon decreases.

Because the gas particles move more slowly so fewer collisions.

Q

Why is atmospheric pressure less up a mountain?

A

Because you are above most of the gas particles in the atmosphere so fewer can collide into you (the particles are more dense at sea level)
