Which companies offer hot air balloon rides?
Hot air balloon rides are very popular in California, as well as in the New England area. Companies that offer hot air balloon rides are: US Hot Air Balloon, California Dreamin, and San Diego Balloon Rides.
Where can one find hot air balloon tours in the USA?
There are a variety of sites that offer information for a variety of Hot Air Balloon tours in the United States. The site Balloon Rides US offers listings for a wide range of locations in the US where the company provides balloon tours.
Does regular hot air run a hot air balloon?
Yes. Same ol´air as a all around us, just heated up.
Where can you go on hot air balloon flights in the US?
If you visit the Ballon Ride US website, you may book hot air balloon flights for different areas within the United States. Prices range from $160 to $225 USD per person.
How does a balloon rise against gravity?
A balloon rises against gravity because of buoyancy force - the difference in density between the air inside the balloon and the surrounding air creates an upward force. By heating the air inside the balloon (hot air balloon) or by using a gas that is lighter than air (like helium or hydrogen), the balloon becomes less dense and is lifted up.
What happens to a balloon at room temperature?
The balloon will expand and (maybe) burst. Charles's Law states that Volume/Temperature=Constant, that is, temperature increase will cause a volume increase. When the air surrounding us becomes hotter, it compresses downward and may cause a balloon to fall rapidly from the sky. Notice in the very hot regions when the temperature gets too hot that airplanes cannot take off as there isn't enough "lift" with the hotter sinking air?
why do air ballons fly?
If it's a normal balloon like the one you'd see at a birthday, it's because it's filled with helium which is lighter than the air around us (it's hard to imagine air has weight, but it does at a molecular level). If you're talking about a hot air balloon, it floats because the air in the balloon is hotter than the air around it, and heat rises (again due to molecular-level activity). Hope that helps!
What air is used to blow a balloon with the mouth?
Carbon dioxide, the air we have in us that we breath out. Carbon dioxide doesn't make the balloon float in the air, while Helium does.
What happens to balloon after being in the freezer for a few hours?
That would depend on whether the balloon was empty, full of air or full of water and as you have not told us which we can not help you. When asking questions please make them specific if you want us to help.
How do air particles create air pressure inside a balloon?
Air particles inside a balloon collide with the walls of the balloon, creating a force that is evenly distributed on all sides, which results in air pressure. The more particles there are inside the balloon, the greater the number of collisions, and thus the higher the air pressure.
What year was the first successful hot air balloon ascent in the us?
The first successful hot air balloon ascent in the United States took place on September 22, 1783. This event was conducted by a Frenchman, Jacques Alexandre Charles, in front of an audience in Philadelphia. The flight lasted approximately 45 minutes and reached an altitude of about 3,200 feet. This marked a significant milestone in the history of aviation in the U.S.
Does the air has a weight?
You can blow up a balloon and then weigh the balloon and minus it from the original weight of the balloonAnswer:Weighing air is problem because of the buoyant forces at work. If you have flattened paper bag and weigh it then open it up (effectively filling it with air), and weigh it again you find the weight is the same. In the case of a balloon, a filled balloon will weigh more than an empty balloon as it is filled with compressed air due to the tension of the balloon skin. You have no idea of the volume of room pressure air is in it.To determine this you could inflate the balloon with known volume of air using bicycle pump. Simple math would identify the volume transferred with each stroke. By knowing the weight before filling, the weight after filling, and the volume transferred it would be possible to calclate the weight per meter (or cubic foot) of room pressure air.
