What happens to a hot air balloon when the burner is turned off?
When the burner is turned off, the air inside the hot air balloon starts to cool down. As the air cools, the balloon loses lift and begins to slowly descend back to the ground. Without the burner heating the air inside the balloon, it will eventually land.
What would happen if a hot air balloon was sealed?
It needs to be open at the bottom to get heat from the burners into the balloon to warm up the air and decrease its density. If you sealed it off, eventually heat exchange through the fabric of the balloon would could the air off enough that the balloon would no longer be bouyant and it would lose altitute.
Why do hot air balloons rise?
Hot air is less dense than cold air, thus hot air rises in cold air. Hot air balloons trap the hot air, thus creating an upward force at the top of the balloon. With sufficient mass, the upward force upon the balloon can overcome gravity, lifting both the balloon and the burner (used to heat the air) up off the ground. To lift people you need a much larger envelope to hold the required mass of hot air to overcome the gravitational pull. The air in the balloon is heated by a burner to make it expand (become less dense). They have a lever that they pull that releases fire.The fire makes hot air and it hits the top of the hot air balloon that makes it rise. Helium-filled balloons are more commonly known as blimps (airships) which do not use burners because helium is lighter-than-air to begin with. Helium replaced hydrogen which was originally used in blimps. Using burners on hydrogen would have been foolhardy at best (refer to the Hindenburg disaster).
Why is the hot air in a hot air balloon less dense then air outside of it?
When air is heated, more kenitic energy is transfered to the airs particles. The particles then begin to move and vibrate more, and expand outward. This produces hot air, which rises because it has a lower density (more spread out particles) then the cooler air that surrounds it. Thus, it rises.

Why doesn't an inflated balloon shrink when heated?
Because as the balloon is heated, the gases on the inside of the balloon begin to expand and press out on the walls of balloon. If a balloon is refridgerated, the opposite is true: the gases on the inside of the balloon will begin to contract, causing the balloon to shrink.
Why does a gas burner in a balloon begin to rise when heated air is trappd inside the balloon?
The hot air from the gas burner rises and enters the balloon's envelope. Once there is enough hot air trapped, the whole balloon will begin to lift off the floor. This is due entirely to the fact that hot air rises.
Why does this device begin to rise when hated air is trapped inside the balloon?
When heated air is trapped inside the balloon, it becomes less dense than the surrounding air. Since hot air is less dense, it creates a buoyant force that causes the balloon to rise. This is because the hotter air inside the balloon is lighter than the cooler air outside, creating a pressure difference that results in upward movement.
How does heat cause a hot air balloon to rise?
When air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense and lighter than the surrounding cooler air. This lighter air creates a buoyant force that causes the balloon to rise. As the air inside cools down, the balloon will begin to descend.
What happens to the air molecules inside a hot air balloon?
When the air inside a hot air balloon is heated, the molecules gain energy and begin to move faster, causing the air to expand and become less dense than the surrounding cooler air. This lower density air in the balloon then creates lift, allowing the balloon to rise.
Why does helium balloons pop in the hot sun and what pressure is acting on it?
Helium expands in the heat, causing the gas inside the balloon to increase in pressure. As the pressure inside the balloon becomes greater than the strength of the balloon's material, it can pop. The pressure acting on the balloon is the sum of the internal pressure of the expanding helium gas and the external atmospheric pressure.
What happens to a hot air balloon when the burner is turned off?
When the burner is turned off, the air inside the hot air balloon starts to cool down. As the air cools, the balloon loses lift and begins to slowly descend back to the ground. Without the burner heating the air inside the balloon, it will eventually land.
What is the difference between a full and an empty balloon?
A full balloon contains more gas than an empty balloon (even an empty balloon contains a little air). Therefore a full balloon is heavier than an empty balloon (assuming the balloons are the same weight to begin with). However, if filled with a lighter-than-air gas, such as helium, the full balloon will defy gravity due to its increased buoyancy. The only other difference is that the skin of a full balloon will be stretched and will therefore be much thinner than the skin of an empty balloon. This stretching increases the pressure upon the gas contained therein, therefore the gas is compressed inside the balloon.
If a pot is no longer heated when will the convection currents stop flowing?
Once the pot is no longer heated, the temperature of the liquid inside will begin to stabilize and the convection currents will gradually slow down and eventually stop as the temperature equalizes throughout the liquid.

Why does hot air rise up to the atmosphere?
When air is heated, more kenitic energy is transfered to the airs particles. The particles then begin to move and vibrate more, and expand outward. This produces hot air, which rises because it has a lower density (more spread out particles) then the cooler air that surrounds it. Thus, it rises, with the hot air balloon in tow. But, when a hot air balloon gets very high, the air that surrounds it gets less desnse its self. The hot air balloon can only get so high that the air inside is lighter then its surrounding air, otherwise it will not rise.
