Does a hot air balloon depend on thrust or drag?
A hot air balloon does not depend on thrust like an airplane does. It rises due to the buoyancy of the hot air inside the envelope, which is lighter than the surrounding air. Drag does affect the balloon's movement and control, but it is not the primary force that allows it to float.
Why does a hot air balloon need flame in order to take off?
A hot air balloon needs a flame to heat the air inside the balloon, making it less dense than the surrounding air. This temperature difference creates lift, allowing the balloon to float upwards. Without the flame, the air inside the balloon would cool down and the balloon would descend.
What would happen to an air up balloon if you take it up on a high mountain?
The balloon would get larger as the air pressure outside it dropped. At some height, the balloon would get large enough to burst.
Why does a hot air balloon need a burner to work?
To keep it hot you. The REASON they use a 'Burner' in a Hot Air Balloon is to 'heat the Air, to 'fill' the Balloon, so it will 'rise'... The only other way to get the air Hot enough to fill the Balloon, would be to make the 'Basket' MUCH, MUCH Larger, and fill it with Liberals, and just let them talk. BUT, I don't think the Balloon would ever get off the ground, because, the BULLCRAP would counteract the Hot Air, and they would cancel each other out...
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.
How does a hot air balloon stop?
There is a handle that you pull to close the vent that blows hot air into the balloon.
What are three working forces on the hot air balloon?
Three working forces on a hot air balloon are lift (created by hot air inside the balloon being lighter than the surrounding air), gravity (pulling the balloon downward), and drag (resistance caused by the air as the balloon moves through it).
What could a pilot do cause the balloon back to the ground?
If a hot air balloon, then stop heating the air. If a lighter-than-air balloon then release some of the gas.
What is the use of air in air balloon?
with out the hot air the balloon would not rise
How can you weigh air in a balloon?
To weigh air in a balloon, you would first need to weigh the balloon when it is empty. Next, fill the balloon with air and weigh it again. The difference in the weights would give you an approximation of the weight of the air in the balloon. However, this method would not provide an accurate measurement of the weight of the air due to factors like the weight of the balloon material and the presence of air inside the balloon.
Does a hot air balloon depend on thrust or drag?
A hot air balloon does not depend on thrust like an airplane does. It rises due to the buoyancy of the hot air inside the envelope, which is lighter than the surrounding air. Drag does affect the balloon's movement and control, but it is not the primary force that allows it to float.
Would a hot air balloon pilot heat or cool the air in the balloon to make it rise?
He would heat it.
How do you inflate a balloon underwater?
When you inflate a balloon, even on land, you pinch the mouth of the balloon shut to stop air escaping once you have run out of air. You can do the same thing underwater. Take a breath, dive under, and blow into the balloon, and pinch it when you run out of air. You could also use a snorkel, but you will need to make sure you leave enough air in your lungs to blow water out of the snorkel.
Why does a hot air balloon need flame in order to take off?
A hot air balloon needs a flame to heat the air inside the balloon, making it less dense than the surrounding air. This temperature difference creates lift, allowing the balloon to float upwards. Without the flame, the air inside the balloon would cool down and the balloon would descend.
How do you get down from a hot air balloon?
It's easy, just stop putting hot air in it.
What would heating the gas in an air balloon make the balloon rise?
Simple...hot air rises..
What would you expect to happen to a balloon filled with air it was put into a refrigerator?
As it gets colder the air molecules move closer together and the balloon deflates.
