Filling a blimp with helium is safer than using hydrogen because helium is non-flammable and inert, significantly reducing the risk of fire or explosion. Hydrogen, on the other hand, is highly flammable and poses a serious safety hazard, as demonstrated by historical incidents like the Hindenburg disaster. Additionally, helium is less likely to leak through materials, ensuring better buoyancy and performance. Overall, helium provides a safer and more stable option for lighter-than-air travel.
Yes, it can. Just as helium balloon will.
Yes
To find the number of helium atoms in a helium blimp, you would first need to convert the mass of helium (431 kg) to moles using the molar mass of helium. Then, use Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol) to calculate the number of helium atoms.
It isn't. Hot air Ballons use Hot Air. Hot air being lighter and therefore less dense than normal air allow the balloon to float.
Hydrogen, which has more lift per quantity- is too volatile and explosive- remember the HIndenberg! Helium is only practical lifting gas for modern dirigibiles. There were rumors the Navy synthesized something during World War II for blimp lifting gas but details are sketchy.
Using hydrogen gas in a blimp is advantageous because hydrogen is lighter than helium, providing more lift and better fuel efficiency. However, hydrogen is flammable, which poses a safety risk compared to the non-flammable helium. Additionally, hydrogen is more readily available and cheaper to produce than helium.
Helium, a lighter than air gas, is used for buoyancy in the Goodyear Blimp. Hydrogen has not been used for many decades because of the explosive danger.
A blimp uses gas-filled envelopes for lift, typically helium or hydrogen. The propulsion system may be powered by gasoline engines or electric motors.
An empty blimp can weigh as much as 12,840 pounds. This is without being filled with helium. When full of helium the blimp may only weigh as much as 200 pounds.
Helium
No. helium gas inside the blimp keeps it aloft. Just like a helium makes balloons fly!!

No, a blimp is not a type of hot air balloon. While both are inflated with gas to become buoyant, hot air balloons rely on heated air to rise, while blimps are powered by engines and filled with helium or hydrogen gas for lift.
More than likely a Helium filled balloon. A Hydrogen filled balloon is very flammable and might burst into flames similar to the Hindenburg blimp/dirigible. Helium is not flammable.
Helium.
So the blimp will stay aloft/still adn will float.
