What keeps air balloon inflated?

If you mean a hot air balloon, it is the expansion of the air caused by the propane burner. If you mean any balloon, it is the ability of the material to hold the air or gas inside which keeps it inflated.


Why did balloon burst under hot flame?

Balloons burst under hot flames because the heat causes the air inside the balloon to expand rapidly. When the air molecules move faster and push against the walls of the balloon with greater force, the balloon can no longer withstand the pressure and bursts.


What was necesary for the hot air ballon to be succesfull?

A hot air balloon needs to carry a means of producing more hot air to keep the envelop inflated and lifting in flight. Otherwise, as the initial hot air cools, so the balloon will descend to the ground.


What is a deflated hot air balloon?

At the end of a hot air balloon flight the heated air inside is allowed to escape through a panel that is opened either in the top or side of the balloon envelope. The crew then squeezes the remaining air our of the envelope and then packs it away in a large bag ready for the next flight. This process is called deflating the balloon


How do they launch a hot air balloon?

To launch a hot air balloon, the pilot first inflates the balloon with a large fan to fill it with cold air. Then, a burner is used to heat the air inside the balloon until it becomes hot and the balloon starts to rise. Once it is fully inflated and upright, the passengers can board and the balloon will take off.

What can cause tires to burst on long trips in warm weather?

being overly worn, overly loaded, over-inflated, OR, surprisingly, underinflated (they get very hot if they do not have much air)

Why does a balloon burst when near some hot air?

The answer is fairly simple, while some believe that a balloon bursts when near hot air because the balloon simple melts, it actually has to do with the pressure inside the balloon. When near hot air, the air inside the balloon expands slightly, causing a change in pressure, and causing the balloon to burst.


Why do toy balloons burst when placed under the hot sun?

This is because the gas inside the balloon expands due to the heat of the sun. Gases expand the most on heating. The volume of the gas becomes more then the volume of the inflated balloon and thus it burts.


What will happen if you put a balloon in hot water?

The air inside the balloon will expand due to the heat, causing the balloon to inflate. If the water is hot enough, the balloon may eventually burst due to the increased pressure from the expanding air.


Why did balloon burst under hot flame?

Balloons burst under hot flames because the heat causes the air inside the balloon to expand rapidly. When the air molecules move faster and push against the walls of the balloon with greater force, the balloon can no longer withstand the pressure and bursts.


What happens if a hot air balloon ascends too high?

If a hot air balloon ascends too high, the air pressure decreases and the balloon may burst or lose control, potentially causing it to crash.


Why balloon kept on a hot floor burst?

Heat makes particles spread out and the particles spread out in the ballon therfore making the ballon burst.


Which gas is in hot air balloons?

Mostly nitrogen, since a hot air balloon uses air & air is mostly nitrogen.Let your ears hear what your lips are saying !The hot-air balloon rises because it is inflated with . . . . . . . . wait for it . . . . . . . . hot air !

What will happen if a partially inflated party balloon were heated?

The air molecules would expand, increasing the pressure of the balloon. When anything gets cold, it contracts, and when heated, it expands. Atoms and molecules are always moving - when something is hot, the molecules are moving faster and greater distances. When something is cold, the molecules are still moving, just slowly and at much smaller distances. You won't see much a difference while it's partially inflated, though there would be one. You can see results more drastically by heating a balloon that is near completely inflated. The more air molecules that are in the balloon, the greater the expansion. In other words, the bigger the balloon and more air that's in it, when heated you will see a larger change in the balloon size.
