How many balloons does it take to lift a 190 pound man?
assuming that temperature is constant and that we're talking about regular party balloons (a "regular" 2-gram party balloon can hold ~ 16 grams of gas), you would need 6,156 baloons to hold your weight in equilibrium. you would need an amount greater than this to actually lift you (the more extra balloons, the faster the lift), and this is not accounting for the weight of the string. extrapolated from: http://malaysia.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1005123102737
Can Balloons Really Lift A Person Off The Ground?
Yes, if he's holding enough of them.
Give one use of thermal expansion in gases?
To lift hot air balloons
What is added to balloons and hot air balloons?
Balloons can be filled with air (don't float), or with hydrogen or helium (float because the gas is less dense). Hot air balloons use burners to heat the air so that it becomes slightly less dense than the cooler air around it, providing some lift.
Can you fill helium balloons with normal air?
No it doesn't have helium. A hot air balloon derives it's lift from heated air, which is less dense and therefore lighter than normal air. A helium balloon derives it's lift from helium, a gas which at normal temperatures is less dense than normal air. So both fly 'lighter than air' but for different reasons.
How many balloons does it takes to lift 1 pound?
it took 53 12" helium balloons to lift a pound, you have to add the weight of the string and balloons
How many helium balloons does it take to lift the Titanic?
10000000 helium balloons
How many helium balloons can lift 20 pounds frozen turkey?
30
How many helium balloons can lift up a brick?
depends on how large the balloon is! ;D
How many helium balloons does it take to lift a 20 pound frozen turkey?
400
Does the lift depend on the surface area of the balloons?
NO...
How do hot air balloons produce lift?
Hot Air
How many helium balloons does it take to lift a kilogram?
To lift about 110 pounds it could take any where from 100 to 150 balloons to lift a person, a lawn chair, food, and many gallons of water. A man by the name of Kent Couch from Oregon demestrated this for us by flying from his home all the way to Idaho. I would'NT try this unless you have a parachute of some kind of device to help you have a better landing. The Balloons could be about the average party balloons (large ones) that are about 11in in diameter. Now remember this is very dangerous and could even be lethal.I hope this helped you.Thanks for looking--Tiana5701
Is it possible to lift a house with balloons?
well it depends on the weight of your house and the mass of the balloons. if you were to calculate it out you would be able to if you got the right amount of balloons. Yes -The experiment proved successful.
Why do hot air balloons have sand bags?
Modern hot air balloons do not have sand bags because the air input is easily controlled for lift. Hot air balloons used to have sandbags to weigh them down until lift off and sand was gradually dumped to gain height in the air.
What types of balloons are there?
there are many different types: hot air balloons, gas balloons, party balloons, weather balloons and many more complex types of balloons.
