Why was the airplane harder to invent than the hot air balloon?
The balloon is lighter than air.
When you heat the air inside a hot air balloon, it rises. Why does this occur?
D: The hot air inside the balloon becomes less dense than the air outside the balloon.
How does a air balloon fly?
air is heavier than balloon, air rises
Is a helium balloon heavier than air filled balloon?
No. Helium is lighter than air
How does a hot-air balloon rise?
The upthrust on the balloon is greater than the weight of the balloon. Thus, it rises upwards. The upthrust on the balloon is greater than the weight of the balloon because the air inside it has a lower density than the surrounding air.
How does air make a balloon fly?
air is heavier than balloon, air rises
Why was the airplane harder to invent that the hot air balloon?
Balloon is lighter than air.
What gas put in a balloon would make it fall?
Any gas that is more dense than air.Answer:It is a bit more complex than that - an air filled balloon would still fall because air has the density of air. In a normal inflated balloon the air in the balloon is compressed and has a density more than uncompressed air. If the "balloon" were a plastic bag wiith no air pressure above the pressure of the surrounding air, the balloon would still fall as the combined (average) density of the balloon/bag system is greater than the surrounding air. Even if the balloon were filled with a gas with a lower specific gravity than air the balloon wll fall if the compressed gas density excedes that of the surrounding air or if the combined (average) density of the balloon/bag or balloon system is greater than the surrounding air.
How does the flame in an hot air balloon enable the balloon to float in the air?
The flame heats the air contained in the balloon. This causes the air to expand, thus it becomes less dense than the air surrounding the balloon. Once the air in the balloon is sufficiently less dense than the surrounding air to overcome the weight of the balloons materials, it will lift into the air.
How do you make a balloon rise into the air?
-- Inflate the balloon with some substance that is less dense than air. OR -- Inflate the balloon with air, then heat it after it is sealed.
Will a balloon get bigger with water or air?
With same mass, balloon get bigger with air than water because air is much lighter than water. With same standard volume, balloon get bigger with water than air because air is compressible and it will shrink down little bit from the pressure exerted by balloon wall.
A hot air balloon rise becausr the hot air inside the balloon is?
The air is less dense than the air outside.
