Question

A child plays with a toy in which a smal, air- and liquid-filled balloon floats within a bottle that is closed and completely filled with water (see diagram below). The bottle is flexible such that when the child squeezes it, the bottle can just slightly compress. Upon squeezing the bottle, the balloon sinks. Why does this happen? Squeeze balloon is compressed upon squeezing, thus increasing its density. A. The B. The water in the bottle is compressed, ncreasing its density and, thus, the buoyant force on the balloon. Atmospheric pressure increases uporn squeezing, forcing the balloon to sink. D. As the balloon sinks, the depth decreases the hydrostatic pressure, causing the balloono sink further.

Explanation / Answer

Atmospheric pressure increases upon squeezing , forcing the ballon to sink. Change the air pressure inside a bottle causing a ballon set on top of the bottle to squeeze into it.
