Helium Buoyancy--- This is the same thing that allows boats to float on water. The boat displaces a volume of Water and if the weight of the Boat is lighter than the weight of the displace water, then it floats. This is same with Blimps or Dirigibles. The Blimp is filled with Helium. The volume of the helium inside the blimp is lighter than the weight of the voume of air that it displaces so it rises. When the blimp reaches the higher altitude where the air is thinner (and therefore lighter) then the blimp will stop rising. At this altitude the weight of the blimp EQUALS the weight of the air it displaces.
What else can I help you with?
Are engine essential to keep a blimp in the airwhy or why not?
A blimp gets lift from being filled with helium, which is lighter than air. A blimp floats on air because of this. They rely on the engines to move, but not to stay aloft.
What best describes the force of atmospheric pressure on a blimp?
The force of atmospheric pressure on a blimp is what allows it to stay inflated and maintain its shape. The pressure inside the blimp is slightly higher than the surrounding atmosphere, which pushes against the walls of the blimp and keeps it buoyant. If the pressure inside the blimp is lower than the outside atmosphere, the blimp will deflate.
What is the force of atmospheric of a blimp?
The force of buoyancy acting on a blimp is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the blimp. This force allows the blimp to float in the air. The blimp is designed to have a volume that displaces enough air to generate sufficient buoyancy to counteract the force of gravity acting on the blimp.
What has more mass a hot air balloon or a blimp?
blimp
What describes the force of atmospheric pressure on a blimp?
The force of atmospheric pressure on a blimp is what helps it to stay inflated and maintain its shape. The blimp is designed to have a higher pressure inside than outside, creating buoyancy that enables it to float in the air. Changes in atmospheric pressure can impact the altitude and stability of the blimp.
Why helium is used to fill a blimp envelope?
So the blimp will stay aloft/still adn will float.
What time does the blimp go up?
A blimp can go up any time of day as long as the sun is out. There are reasons that a blimp will not go up and that is usually dependent on weather or if there are complications with the blimp itself.
How long does a blimp inflated?
A blimp will stay inflated for about one to three hours. It is filled with a non-flammable gas of helium.
What is buoyancy and how does it affect a blimp?
buoyancy is a measure of how well an object will float in a given medium, eg: a boat in water. similarly for a blimp, the blimp is the object, the air is the medium. if it is not buoyant enough, it will not 'float' in the air, aka fly
Why is the blimp useful as a platform for cameras and sporting events?
A blimp is useful as a platform for cameras for sporting events, because the blimp can hover or stay in place and get a good bird's eye view of the action.
How do you get back to your blimp in poptropica?
Grab the rope, climb up then click the blimp.
Element used in the goodyear blimp and other dirigibles?
The element that is used in the Goodyear blimp and other dirigibles is helium. This gas is lighter than air and causes the blimp to rise.
