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.
In which one way the balloon changes when it is left in a sunny place?
we all know that the kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas is very large so ,when the balloon is kept in the sun the air inside it gets heated and the molecules move further apart resulting in the bursting of the balloon.Sometimes it melts depending on the heat of the sun however if the sun is very hot, the balloon may pop.Balloons are usually made from latex which if it was to be left simply laying out in the sun would would possibly get so hot that it would start to melt. However if you were to inflate it before doing so the air inside would expand enlarging the balloon until it bursts assuming the balloon was well inflated in the first place.Iy will expand if the air is heated.
Why does a balloon shoot around the room when it is allowed to deflate?
The air escaping out of the nozzle has momentum and creates a force on the balloon. According to the laws of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction; the balloon pushes the air out bacwards and the air pushes the balloon forward.
When an inflated balloon is exposed to cold air?
The volume of the balloon decreases
What should a hot air balloonist do to go higher?
They can drop weight over the side, increase the hot air volume, or both. A hot air balloon will rise when its buoyancy exceeds its weight. So the balloonist can increase the buoyancy by increasing the amount of hot air contained in the balloon. Or they can simply reduce the weight of the balloon, including the gondola, its contents, and contained hot air.
Why does a balloon blast if you keep blowing air into it?
When you blow air into a balloon, the air pressure inside builds, thus causing the latex skin to expaand. Eventually, the latex won't be able to expand anymore, so it catastrophically fails. (AKA, it pops.)
How much can a air balloon hold?
how much helium can a air balloon hold
Why does a balloon burst when you sit on it?
Air or helium is a gas that is contained in a latex envelope. Since the balloon is a finite space, when you sit on it you strain the latex beyond it's capabilities. Just like a seam in your clothes, too much strain will open the material. In latex, the thing pops because the pressure outside is greater than the pressure inside. The gas has to go somewhere!
What happens if there is too much air inside a balloon?
It too much air is added to a balloon it will burst.
What causes the air pressure inside an inflated balloon?
The elastic contraction of the rubber in the balloon's membrane causes the pressure in the air inside an inflated balloon. When you inflate a balloon, you have to expand the latex of the balloon, which stretches when filled with air from a pressure of 760 mm Hg to as high as 840 (about 10% higher than standard atmospheric pressure). If you inflate a non-elastic mylar balloon, it takes no effort: the air inside is at the same pressure as the air outside.
How much hot air does it take to raise a hot air balloon?
No set answer to that, it depends on how much the balloon has to lift.
Why an inflated balloon shoots off when its air is released?
To understand why balloons produce a bang, we must fist understand why they burst.As balloons reach their maximum expansion, they get to a point where the latex cannot stretch anymore and gets stiff and resists any further stretching. This increase in stiffness will cause an increase in the air pressure inside the balloon just before bursting.While the air pressure inside the balloon does not contain much potential energy, the latex does store terrific potential energy. The rapid release of the stored energy during the burst produces the resounding bang. More detailed explanationWhen a balloon bursts, the latex splits into various pieces as cracks are developed. The speed of sound in the latex is much higher than the speed of sound in air. The speed of the crack propagation through the latex approaches the speed of sound in the latex. Therefore, the velocity of the crack-faces breaks the sound barrier in air and produces a sonic boom. The latex then violently contracts. The ends of the latex contract so rapidly that they break the sound barrier.Just like the end of a bull-whip, they create a shock wave.More the latex breaking the sound barrier, the bigger the bang. The faster the latex is going, the bigger the bang.(check the related link for a video)
Why does a balloon blast when too much air is blown into it?
if you think about it, air molecules increase more and more. And the balloon has it flexibility. But the balloon can only stretch out a far distance. Henceforth, too much air molecules from you will make the balloon pop
Why does a pin pop balloons?
A pin pops balloons because the latex (or whatever the balloon is made of) rips letting the air out therfore making the popping sound. The pin makes a rip in the balloon.. ;-)
How does a balloon that contains water last under heat?
A balloon that contains water would not last a long time under heat. the balloons latex rubber will not be able to handle the heat and will pop, but a balloon filled with air will pop instantly.
What kind of balloons holds more air and why?
The kind of balloon that holds more air is a hot air balloon. This is because they are much larger than a standard balloon.
How does the air change as a hot air balloon rises?
As the air in the balloon is heated from the flames, the air becomes lighter. So much lighter than the surrounding air that the balloon eventually rises from the light air in it.
