How long can a balloon stay floating?
As long as the buoyancy due to a lighter gas inside the balloon is sufficient to offset the mass of the balloon (and any string). The gas will gradually diffuse out, through the skin of the balloon and so the balloon will slowly lose its buoyancy.
What makes a balloon float on water?
The fact that the balloon is so light allows it to stay afloat,
Why does a larger balloon drop slower than a smaller balloon?
We are all similar to the experiment the scientist Galileo conducted when testing the laws of gravity. He had been atop the Leaning Tower Of Pisa and had thrown objects of the different weights and they had landed on the ground at the same time. This is because gravity pulls all objects, regardless of mass at the same speed. Some factors which could alter this could be air resistance, which causes friction. So if in a room without air, i think that the balloons will fall at the same time. Normally, though, i think that aside from some circumstances, the smaller balloon will fall first. (if there is air in the big one, of course it won't fall quickly, its mass will be reduced)
Why don't normal balloons stay in the sky?
Due to the weight of the balloon. A balloon is merely a capsule full of air so it will fall to the ground as the balloon weighs it down. A helium balloon will rise into the air because helium is less dense than normal air (i.e. it weighs less). The air inside the balloon is the same density as the air outside. The balloon material itself is heavier than air, which causes the balloon to sink. If you decrease the density of the trapped air, such as by heating it or replacing it with hydrogen or helium, the balloon may become even lighter than the balloon material and an equal volume of normal air, in which case the balloon will float or rise.
When the temperature of a gas in a balloon increases the volume of the balloon will?
Increase. By the ideal gas law, PV = nRT Atmospheric pressure will stay the same so the pressure in the balloon will remain about the same. n (the amount of gas in the balloon) will stay the same R is the gas constant so it stays the same consequently if P, n, and R remain the same and T increases, V must increase too.
How long does a blimp inflated?
A blimp will stay inflated for about one to three hours. It is filled with a non-flammable gas of helium.
How long will the balloon stay inflated with vineger and baking soda?
24 hour
When a balloon is filled with air is heated does the density of the air in the balloon stay the same?
No it decreases
What would be the length of the arrows if the balloon were inflated more?
The length would stay the same as the pressure inside the balloon equals the atmospheric pressure.
What makes the balloon stay inflated when you combined baking soda and vinegar together?
carbon dioxide gas
How long can a hot air balloon stay up?
As long as they have flue to heat the balloon.
Which has higher density balloon filled with water or helium?
I would say an air filled balloon if you fill it with just plain air. I am basing this on the principle of osmosis and diffusion. A substance such as a gas will travel from an area of increased concentration, such as a balloon filled with helium, to an area od decreased concentration, such as the room the balloon is in. If you fill the balloon with air identicle to that in the surrounding room it negates diffusion.
How long can a balloon stay in the air when it is inflated with hot air?
I presume you mean without an airborne heater. The answer is, there is no fixed time! It could range from a few minutes to the best part of a day. 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.
What is more buoyant air filled balloon or Styrofoam?
Under water they are as buoyant as each other but on land the balloon will float away and the Styrofoam will stay.
What do air particles do to keep a balloon inflated?
It's buoyancy - the same as a ship floating in water.In this case the volume of the balloon must weigh less than an equal volume of air.(That's done by using a lighter than air gas - hydrogen, helium, or just heated air.)
How long does a blimp stay inflated?
At least 1 hour or higher or 3 hours.
When you release a balloon filled with oxygen it flies all over the place But what happens when you release an untied balloon filled with helium Does it go everywhere or stay in a straight path?
the answer in yes it would stay in one straight path as you release it. Until it loses more helium than the weight of the balloon. Then it will meander downwards til it flops of it's own weight.
