When you heat the air inside a hot air balloon, it rises. Why does this occur?
A. The mass of cold air displaced by the balloon is less than the mass of hot air inside the balloon. B. The hot air inside the balloon becomes denser than the air outside the balloon. C. The volume of the balloon decreases. D. The hot air inside the balloon becomes less dense than the air outside the balloon.
D: The hot air inside the balloon becomes less dense than the air outside the balloon.
What else can I help you with?
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 is heat transferred through the air inside ahot air balloon?
Heat is transferred through the air inside a hot air balloon by convection. The burner at the base of the balloon heats the air inside, making it less dense. This hot air rises and creates lift, causing the balloon to float.
Does a hot air balloon have a?
no, it is powered by heat. heat rises.
Explain how a hot air balloon is lifted from the ground?
In a nutshell, air rises and expands when heated. Through the use of a burner the balloon pilot heats up the air inside the envelope (the balloon itself), this air inside the envelope expands and rises, lifing the basket.
Does a hot air balloon have an engine?
no, it is powered by heat. heat rises.
Why do ripples occur when heat rises?
ripples occur above something when heat rises because those are called heat waves.
Which method of heat movement affects the air in a hot air balloon?
Convection is the method of heat movement that affects the air in a hot air balloon. The air inside the balloon is heated, becomes less dense, and rises, displacing the cooler air outside the balloon. This creates a pressure difference that causes the balloon to float.
How does a hot air balloon go up and down?
Heat rises of it makes the ballon rises
What happens when a balloon is exsposed to heat?
When a balloon is exposed to heat, the air inside the balloon expands and the molecules move faster, causing the balloon to inflate. If the heat is excessive, the balloon may burst due to the increased pressure inside.
How do you make air lighter so that it will cause a balloon to rise?
To make air lighter, you can heat it up. Hot air is less dense than cold air, so it rises. When you heat the air inside a balloon, it becomes lighter than the surrounding air and causes the balloon to float upward.
What is the mode of heat transfer in hot air balloon?
The main mode of heat transfer in a hot air balloon is convection. As the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, displacing cooler air downwards. This creates a convection current that generates lift and allows the balloon to float.
What happens when a balloon is exposed to heat?
When a balloon is exposed to heat, the air molecules inside the balloon start to move faster and spread out, causing the balloon to expand. If the heat is too intense, the balloon may burst due to the increased pressure inside.
