How does a balloon rise against gravity?
A balloon is filled with helium, which is less dense than the air around us. Because of this, it is able to float. But, over time, the helium leaves the balloon making it fall again.
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.
Why a balloon quickly shrivel?
Most materials from which balloons are made are porous, meaning that they have tiny holes in them, somewhat like those in bread. Inflating a balloon actually makes the holes bigger which makes them able to leak more air causing the balloon to leak.
Which gas inflates a balloon the longest carbon dioxide or helium and why?
Carbon dioxide will keep a balloon inflated longer than helium will, because its molecules are much larger and therefore less able to escape through the material of which the balloon is made.On the other hand, helium is much lighter so will give a balloon greater lift while it lasts.
Can a balloon blow itself up?
A balloon can't blow itself up - it can only respond to internal and external forces. For example, if the pressure inside the balloon is greater than the pressure outside the balloon, it will inflate; if the pressure is greater than the balloon is able to stretch, it blows up. Balloons that are filled on the ground, for example, and then released into the sky may eventually blow up as they reach altitudes with lower air pressure.
Can chimpanzees climb to the top of the tree?
They might not be able to because of their weight
Where can you download a calorie calculator?
There are several websites which might be useful. Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc. are weight loss organizations which might be able to provide a calorie calculator.
A balloon floats motionless in the air. A balloonist begins climbing the supporting cable. In which direction does the balloon move as the balloonist climbs?
The balloon will move down as the balloonist transfers his weight onto the cable. If the balloon has enough bouyancy in air, enough lift, it will return back up to the position it was when our climber approached the support cable. This assumes the balloon is tethered to the ground and has just a bit more lift than the opposing mass of the balloon and the climber. The balloon will have lifted the balloonist up along with its own bulk. As the climber climbs, the balloon might experience the slightest "dip" at each transfer of the balloonists weight as he moves up the cable, unless he moves very slowly. Again, this is for a balloon capable of lifting itself and the balloonist, but which only has a bit more bouyancy in air than the total load on it. That means it can barely lift itself and the balloonist. If the balloon was at equilibrium as far as its lift where it was just able to support the weight of its own bulk, the balloonist will be pulling it down as he climbs and will remain near the ground while pulling the balloon down toward him with each step of his climb. The climber has added "too much weight" to the craft. In the end, he will have pulled the balloon down to himself on the ground. In the case of a really big balloon with a huge amount of lift that was tethered to the ground, it would hardly move at all, but would move down a tiny bit as the climber began, and then pretty much stay put in the air as the climber mounted the support cable.
Why is a balloon able to rise?
The heliom inside the ballon is why a ballon able to rise.
Can you use knitting wool for hand embroidery?
For hand embroidery, you might be able to use a lace weight or other thread-weight yarn.
A balloon is weighted so that it is barely able to float in water. What will happen if it is pushed beneath the surface?
It sinks. By pressing it under the water, the water pressure on the balloon increases slightly and compresses the air in the balloon. This increases the density of the (balloon, weight) combo so that is more dense than water, hence it sinks. High altitude weather balloons are only inflated partway with helium when they are launched from the ground. The envelope of the balloon expands as it rises in the atmosphere.
How is a balloon able to go into a bottle?
Put the balloon in the bottle with the blowing up part out and blow it up in the bottle.
How does a hot air balloon float with people in it?
Just the density difference between the balloon and surrounding atmosphere is so great that the balloon is able to lift itself and people.
Does a hot air balloon depend on thrust or drag?
thrust and drag, because with out thrust the hot air balloon would not be able to move forward and with out drag it would not be able to stop
What is the river dolphins weight?
There are seven species of River Dolphin. With some more information, We might be able to help with your answer.
how does temperature affect the size of-a balloon?
When the temperature is colder the particles in the balloon travel slower, making the balloon not able to increase in size it decreases.When the temperature is hot it allows the balloon to expand because the particles in the balloon are moving rapidly. in conclusion the the cold makes the balloon decrease in size and the heat allows it to expand.
When air heats in a bottle you can a balloon?
The air alone is not able to blow up a balloon. When air in the bottle is heated with a balloon on top of it, the air expands due to the heat and moves and finds more space. This in turn will blow up the balloon.
