Is the pressure difference between the top of the balloon responsible for giving the hot air balloon a lift?

yes, because in this case meta center lies below the center of pressure is above. ballon moves due to difference of pressure

What is the difference between pressure part and nonpressure part?
The difference between pressure and non pressure part
What is the difference between a full and an empty balloon?
A full balloon contains more gas than an empty balloon (even an empty balloon contains a little air). Therefore a full balloon is heavier than an empty balloon (assuming the balloons are the same weight to begin with). However, if filled with a lighter-than-air gas, such as helium, the full balloon will defy gravity due to its increased buoyancy. The only other difference is that the skin of a full balloon will be stretched and will therefore be much thinner than the skin of an empty balloon. This stretching increases the pressure upon the gas contained therein, therefore the gas is compressed inside the balloon.
What is the difference between tension and pressure in physics?
There is a huge difference between tension and pressure in physics. Tension refers to a pulling force and pressure refers to a pushing force.
What makes a balloon go forward when the air is released?
The air inside the balloon is at a higher pressure than atmospheric pressure so the gas molecules inside the balloon are closer together on average than gas molecules outside the balloon. This means that the repulsive forces between the gas molecules inside the balloon are greater than the repulsive forces between the gas molecules outside it. When the balloon is opened, the gas molecules in the open end at the border between the higher pressure interior and lower pressure exterior will experience a greater repulsive force from the gas molecules inside the balloon than the molecules on the outside. This means that they experience a net force pushing them out of the balloon. As these gas molecules are pushed out by the gas inside the balloon, they push back on it with an equal and opposite force (due to Newton's 3rd Law of Motion). This equal and opposite reaction force causes the gas in the balloon to be pushed in the opposite direction to the escaping gas, which in turn pushes the balloon. As more and more gas escapes, the reaction force on the balloon continues to accelerate it, making it shoot off, until enough gas has escaped for the pressure inside the balloon to have dropped to the same level as the pressure outside the balloon.
Can you explain why an inflated balloon shoots off when air is released?

Is there a difference between water pressure and air pressure when it comes to popping a balloon?
No.
Coronary perfusion pressure?
the difference between aortic diastolic and right atrial diastolic pressure; a determinant of the blood flow to cardiac muscle.
Will a hot air balloon fly better on high pressure or low pressure?
High pressure. A hot air balloon has a maximum altitude, where it has only just enough lift to keep it there, because there is very little difference in density between hot (near) vacuum and cold (near) vacuum.
What is filtration pressure?
is the force responsible for moving fluid across capillary walls. It is the difference between net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure. NFP= Net hydrostatic pressure - net osmotic pressure
What is the difference between pressure part and nonpressure part?
The difference between pressure and non pressure part
What is the difference between a water balloon and a normal balloon?
A water balloon is filled with water, and other balloons are filled with air or helium.
What is the difference between a hot air balloon and a swan?
Everything
Why do most balloons burst as they ascend high altitude?
The internal pressure of the gasses inside a balloon remains constant while external air pressure decreases as the balloon ascends. As the balance between the two changes, the pressure inside becomes progressively greater than the pressure outside, so the balloon expands. If it expands beyond the ability of the balloon material to contain it, the balloon will burst.
What is the normal net filtration pressure?
is the force responsible for moving fluid across capillary walls. It is the difference between net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure. NFP= Net hydrostatic pressure - net osmotic pressure
Are there any similarities between a balloon and a hose?
It could be that they both release pressure The balloon releases air and the hose releases water
