Q. Does the angle of the string affect how far the rocket travels?
In Part 2, when you actually start letting the rockets fly, you will notice that since the rockets on the angled string are trying to overcome gravity, they can not travel as far as the rockets on the horizontal string. This will be true as long as you put the same amount of air in both balloons.
Q. What is in a balloon?
A balloon can be defined as an inflatable flexible bag filled with a gas, such as helium, hydrogen, nitrous oxide, oxygen, or air. Modern balloons are made from materials such as rubber, latex, polychloroprene, metalized plastic or a nylon fabric. Long before there was something as stretchy as rubber, balloons existed.
Q. Is helium still used in balloons?
While balloons are fun, helium is actually used for loads of very important functions, so its shortage is a problem. Many people have criticised it being used in balloons in the first place, saying that it should be used for other more important tasks, rather than simply decorations.
Q. What’s the balloon drug called?
Nitrous Oxide is a dissociative drug that is usually inhaled from a balloon. Nitrous Oxide has been used recreationally for over 200 years. The gas comes in small metal canisters which are put in a ‘cracker’ or a whipped cream dispenser so the contents can be released into a balloon.
Q. What class drug is NOS?
Nitrous oxide is classified as a dissociative anaesthetic and has been found to produce dissociation of the mind from the body (a sense of floating), distorted perceptions and in rare cases, visual hallucinations.
Q. What happens if you get caught selling nos?
This is a psychoactive drug and is covered by the 2016 Psychoactive Substances Act, which means it’s illegal to give away or sell. There’s no penalty for possession, unless you’re in prison. Supply and production can get you up to 7 years in prison, an unlimited fine or both.
Q. Is it illegal to carry nitrous oxide?
The law. Nitrous oxide is normally treated as a “psychoactive substance” under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016. Producing, supplying and importing/ exporting psychoactive substances for human consumption is illegal. Possession of such a substance in prison is also an offence.
Q. Does Nos show up in a drug test?
Inhaled nitrous oxide can be detected in blood or urine shortly after exposure20,21 using special techniques and precautions,14 but it is not detected on results of routine drug screening panels.
Q. Can you do Nos without balloons?
Because nanganators have a metal cylinder where the gas is cracked into, you can let it cool down in there and then slowly release it into your lungs without needing to use a balloon.
Q. How long does no2 stay in your system?
EFFECTS OFnitrous oxide The effects may start to be felt immediately and can last from 2 – 3 minutes; some effects may last up to 30 – 40 minutes.
Q. Are there side effects to nitrous oxide?
This may occur when the level of nitrous is too high in the gas mixture or from a sudden change in the amount of nitrous oxide inhaled. Negative side effects may include nausea or vomiting, headache, increased sleepiness, and/or excessive sweating or shivering.
