One difference is that a hot-air balloon is uncontrollable and can't be maneuvered in different directions while a plane can move in various directions.

Why did the inflated balloon move when the air inside it escapes?

When the air inside the balloon escapes, it creates a difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the balloon. This pressure difference causes the balloon to move in the direction of lower pressure, which is typically outwards.


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.


Is there a difference between water pressure and air pressure when it comes to popping a balloon?

No.


What friction aids a hot air balloon?

Friction between the hot air inside the balloon and the balloon envelope helps to create lift by making the balloon envelope less dense than the surrounding air. This difference in density causes the balloon to rise.


Does blowing air in a balloon involves a push?

Yes, blowing air into a balloon creates a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the balloon, causing the balloon to expand. This expansion is a result of the air molecules inside the balloon being pushed outward by the force of the air being blown in.


WHAT ARE THE TWO FORCES ACTING ON THE hot AIR BALLOON?

The two main forces acting on a hot air balloon are buoyant force, which lifts the balloon due to the density difference between the hot air inside the balloon and the cooler air outside, and gravity, which acts to pull the balloon downward.


What flies farther a airplane or hot air balloon?

the airplane will fly farther. This is due to the fact that both the airplane and the hot air balloon use fuel. Also because the hot air balloon only means of movement is wind, While an airplane use jet propulsion. This allows the airplane to travel in any direction


Will a difference in air temperature affect the size of a balloon?

Yes, a difference in air temperature can affect the size of a balloon. When air temperature increases, the air inside the balloon expands, causing the balloon to inflate. Conversely, when air temperature decreases, the air inside the balloon contracts, causing the balloon to deflate.


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

Yes, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the balloon causes it to rise. As the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense than the surrounding air, creating lift due to the pressure difference.
