What is the difference between hot air balloon and tethered balloon rides?

In a tethered ride you are never totally disconnected from the Earth,
thus you return to the same place where you took off from.
(Almost never true with a free ride.)

Can someone Help me with this science question?
Identify two rides you've ridden - perhaps at a fair, amusement park, or local community park, or two rides that you've observed - in a movie, on TV, on a vacation, or trip to the fair, that involve circular motion. Discuss the circular nature of the rides and how centripetal force plays a role. Try to come up with creative responses.
What is the distance covered when a cyclist rides halfway around a circular track with the radius of 140M?

How does a hot air balloon maneuver?
Piloting a balloon takes skill, but the controls are actually very simple. To lift the balloon, the pilot moves a control that opens up the propane valve. This lever works just like the knobs on a gas grill or stove: As you turn it, the flow of gas increases, so the flame grows in size. The pilot can increase the vertical speed by blasting a larger flame to heat the air more rapidly.Additionally, many hot air balloons have a control that opens a second propane valve. This valve sends propane through a hose that bypasses the heating coils. This lets the pilot burn liquid propane, instead of propane in gas form. Burning liquid propane produces a less efficient, weaker flame, but is much quieter than burning gas. Pilots often use this second valve over livestock farms, to keep from scaring the animals.Hot air balloons also have a cord to open the parachute valve at the top of the envelope. When the pilot pulls the attached cord, some hot air can escape from the envelope, decreasing the inner air temperature. This causes the balloon to slow its ascent. If the pilot keeps the valve open long enough, the balloon will sink. Essentially, these are the only controls -- heat to make the balloon rise and venting to make it sink. This raises an interesting question: If pilots can only move hot air balloons up and down, how do they get the balloon from place to place? As it turns out, pilots can maneuver horizontally by changing their vertical position, because wind blows in different directions at different altitudes. To move in a particular direction, a pilot ascends and descends to the appropriate level, and rides with the wind. Since wind speed generally increases as you get higher in the atmosphere, pilots can also control horizontal speed by changing altitude.
Where do you see Pendulums in the real world?
Pendulums are commonly seen in various applications, such as clocks and metronomes, where their regular oscillations are used to keep time. They are also used in seismology to measure the movement of the Earth during earthquakes. In addition, pendulums are utilized in amusement park rides, such as swing rides, to create a thrilling swinging motion.
