as the hot air balloon rises, the air in the balloon begins to cool and since the mass that it's lifting (passengers, basket, and the heater (don't know the name)) ,it will reach a point where the density of the hotter air will not pull it any further up, but the mass cannot pull it down to the ground. it then comes down to the operator using only enough throttle to keep the hot air at this temperature.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference in the height of the balloon after ten minutes and the height of the balloon after sixty minutes?
There is no difference at all if the balloon is not inflated or inflated with air.
Why will a hot air balloon rise and then float at a certain height in air?
increasing altitude decreases air pressure, this pressure gradient with gravity decides if things sink or float. heating the air in the balloon decreases the weight of the balloon and allows the downward pressure from above plus the weight of the balloon to be less than the upward air pressure from below. hence the balloon rises due to this force imbalance. the balloon reaches a constant height when all three are equal
Height of a hot air balloon?
The height of a hot air balloon can vary depending on factors like the temperature of the air inside the balloon and external wind conditions. Typically, hot air balloons can reach altitudes of 1,000 to 3,000 feet above ground level during a typical flight. Pilots can control the height by adjusting the temperature of the air inside the balloon.
How does a hot air balloon stop?
There is a handle that you pull to close the vent that blows hot air into the balloon.
What could a pilot do cause the balloon back to the ground?
If a hot air balloon, then stop heating the air. If a lighter-than-air balloon then release some of the gas.
Why does a balloon filled up with light gas can rise up only to a certain height?
A balloon filled with light gas rises due to buoyancy generated by the difference in density between the gas inside the balloon and the surrounding air. However, as the balloon ascends, the air pressure decreases causing the gas inside the balloon to expand. Eventually, the gas will expand to the point where it equals the surrounding air density and the balloon will stop rising.
If it 15 degree Celsius outside how are you supposed to inflate your balloon?
Blow air into it!
What helps a hot air balloon go higher?
A hot air balloon goes higher by increasing the temperature of the air inside the balloon. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense than the surrounding air, allowing the balloon to rise. Pilots can control the altitude by adjusting the heat to maintain the desired height.
What would happen to an air up balloon if you take it up on a high mountain?
The balloon would get larger as the air pressure outside it dropped. At some height, the balloon would get large enough to burst.
What type of potential energy would a hot air balloon have?
A hot air balloon would have gravitational potential energy due to its height above the ground. As the balloon rises, the potential energy increases.
How do you get down from a hot air balloon?
It's easy, just stop putting hot air in it.
Why do hot air balloons rise to a height and stay there?
Hot air balloons rise because the air inside the balloon is heated, making it less dense than the cooler air outside. This difference in density creates buoyancy, allowing the balloon to lift. Once the desired altitude is reached, the pilot can maintain the balloon's height by carefully controlling the temperature of the air inside, either by adding or releasing hot air. As long as the internal air remains warmer than the outside air, the balloon will stay afloat.
