Does the size of the air balloon matter when its up in the air?
Yes it does. The size of the balloon determines how much volume of gas can be held in it.
How do you air up balloons with rotten bananas?
The bacteria eats of the banana, that causes a gas. The gas goes into the balloon, and inflates it.
Why does air in a balloon take up all the space in the balloon?
It's a gas. The air molecules are free to move around anywhere in the balloon.
If a balloon filled with an unknown gas floats in the air then what can be said about the gas in the balloon?
The gas in the balloon is lighter than air. It has a specific gravity relative to air of less tha one.
Height of a hot air balloon?
the height depends on how much gas the burner is releasing/using. Do you know how much, and also do you know how heavy the hot air balloon is?
How far can a hot air balloon travel?
A average hot air balloon can travel around 25 miles. But it all depends on how big it is and how much gas you have
Why would a balloon increase in size as it goes higher in the atmosphere?
The quantity of gas inside a balloon is fixed - and is pressurised by the elastic 'shell'. As the air pressure outside the balloon decreases with altitude, the gas inside tries to expand - and the rubber of the balloon stretches - making it bigger.
Why does the air change the shape and size of the balloon?
Because the air is coming inside the balloon.
How much wight can one balloon hold?
It all depends on the size of the balloon AND on the lifting gas (hydrogen, helium, hot air).
What gas is in a hot air balloon?
A hot air balloon is inflated with air and then heated by a propane fueled burner. The balloon contains air andthe products of combustion of propane, namely carbon dioxide, which is heavier than air, and steam, which is much lighter than air.
Does a balloon show that air can be compressed?
Yes, a balloon shows that air can be compressed. The pressure in the balloon is higher than the pressure outside the balloon. The ideal gas law is PV = nRT where: P = pressure V = volume n = the number of moles of gas (the amount of gas) R = the ideal gas constant T = temperature So for the given volume of the balloon, and at a set temperature, if the pressure goes up, the amount of gas (the number of moles) must also go up. That means that the gas has been compressed.
Why would heating the gas in a hot air balloon make the balloon rise?
When the gas (air) in a hot air balloon is heated it becomes less dense. This makes the balloon more buoyant so it rises.Because heating the air inside the balloon makes it less dense than the air surrounding the outside of the balloon, so it will rise.
