30 POINTS What would happen to a completely inflated balloon if it were taken from inside
a house to the outside in the middle of January in Minnesota? Explain this
prediction in terms of the Kinetic Molecular Theory.

January in Minnesota is normally very cold, so if the inside of the house is heated

to room temperature (about 20°C) the air inside the balloon will be cooled and the

balloon will visibly shrink when taken outside where the temperature is lower.

According to the kinetic molecular theory, the molecules of a gas (including air)

Explanation:

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
