What effect does the obsence of heat have on air molecules?

When heat touches air molecules they speed up but when cold air touches molecules they slow down.


What does a balloon do when heated?

the heat makes the molecules inside the balloon travel faster, pushing outward on the balloon. This, the balloon expands when heated


What hapens when a hot air balloon inflates?

It all depends on the rate the balloon loses heat, which in turn depends on the size of the balloon, the weight of the balloon, the insulation and porosity properties of the balloon fabric, and the amount of solar heating, if any, that it receives. THough, when the air heats the molecules are literally expanding and thus filling the vacancy of the balloon! This is due to the effect of physical conditions that molecules undergo.


Do molecules move faster with heat or with cold?

heat


What causes heat in air molecules in a hot air balloon to carry thermal energy to the top of the balloon?

Convection. :)


What makes a balloon pop with a heat source?

when heated, molecules get farther away from eachother, causing the balloon to expand. once the balloon reaches its maximum capacity, further heating will cause the molecules to expand more than the balloon can contain and it will pop.


How sunlight effect color?

the color of a balloon is a dark color. but when you put it in the heat, the air in the balloon expands and the color of the balloon gets lighter and pops.


Does a hot air balloon need heat or cold air to float?

hot


Why does a balloon pop with heat?

Heat causes more activity in the atoms inside the balloon. This causes expansion as they are bouncing around inside more than when they were cold. They need more room. The expansion causes failure in the balloon.


Do heated molecules go towards the cold ones?

Yes, heat flows from warm to cold


Why does a hot air balloon rise in cold air?

The fire raises it not the heat of the temperature in the air that day. The wouldn't put a hot air balloon up when it was freezing cold or heaps windy.


Why is a balloon more buoyant on a hot day?

the heat gives the molecules more energy to move around and rise.
