Aballoon is filled at sea level on a spring day (temperature 20°c) to a volume of 0.500 m3 and then brought at op of mount everest the same day (temperature -20°c). how does its volume change? what is the percent change?

Volume increases

Explanation:

The balloon when filled at sea level being comparatively close to the center of the earth will have higher pressure due to the influence of gravity and when this balloon is taken to the top of the mountain being away from the center of earth, it will experience a lesser pressure due to low gravity where the amount of force exerted by the air on the object is lesser as compared to to that at the sea level.

Therefore, there will be an increase in volume of the balloon as there is expansion of air on the inside of the balloon as a result of low pressure.

There is not  much effect of temperature at both the sea level and the mountain top as the temperature does not impart any energy to the air molecules so as to decrease the volume.

Therefore,there is an increase in the volume of the balloon at the top of the mountain.

Percentage change in volume is given by:

what type of charge does it have? negative

the answer is 12 as i may remember
