What happens to the volume of a hot-air balloon when the heater is turned off?

When the heater is turned off, the air inside the balloon cools down, causing it to contract and the volume of the balloon to decrease. This decrease in volume creates less lift, causing the balloon to descend.


What happens to a helium balloon in heat?

In heat, the helium inside a balloon will expand, causing the balloon to inflate further and possibly burst if the heat is excessive. Heat causes the helium molecules to move more quickly and spread out, increasing the pressure inside the balloon.


What happens to volume and mass in a hot air balloon?

When the air is heated inside the balloon, it expands, causing it to be lighter than the surrounding (and presumably) cooler air. One imagines however, that as the air inside the balloon is heated, some air is forced out (due to expansion), thus resulting in a decrease in the entire apparatus' overall mass (not to mention a decrease in mass due to any fuel's having been used to heat the air in the balloon).


What would happen if cool air was put into a hot air balloon?

The balloon would just move throughout the air as it normally does. The troposphere is where all weather occurs and all life is. Also, it is the first and lowest layer of our atmosphere. So, everyone lives in the troposhere, and nothing would affect the flight of the balloon. It would be almost impossible to reach the stratosphere in a hot air balloon.


How heat would change the density of a parcel of air?

An increase in heat would cause the air molecules in the parcel to move faster and spread out, resulting in a decrease in density. Conversely, a decrease in heat would cause the molecules to move slower and come closer together, increasing the density of the air parcel.

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.


Would a hot air balloon pilot heat or cool the air in the balloon to make it rise?

He would heat it.


What type of temp makes a balloon blow up?

An increase in temperature makes the air molecules inside a balloon move faster and spread out, increasing pressure and causing the balloon to expand. Conversely, a decrease in temperature will cause the air molecules inside the balloon to slow down and contract, causing the balloon to deflate.

Where is the heat thermal energy from the balloon and it's surroundings going?

The heat thermal energy from the balloon and its surroundings is being transferred through convection and radiation. The balloon's heat rises and is transferred to the surrounding air, causing it to expand and rise. Additionally, heat is also radiated from the surface of the balloon to its surroundings.


How does the temperature effect the balloon filled with air?

As temperature increases, the air molecules inside the balloon also heat up, causing them to move faster and exert more pressure on the walls of the balloon. This can cause the balloon to expand. Conversely, a decrease in temperature will cause the air molecules to slow down, resulting in a decrease in pressure and the balloon to shrink.


how does temperature affect the size of-a balloon?

When the temperature is colder the particles in the balloon travel slower, making the balloon not able to increase in size it decreases.When the temperature is hot it allows the balloon to expand because the particles in the balloon are moving rapidly. in conclusion the the cold makes the balloon decrease in size and the heat allows it to expand.


How does a balloon that contains water last under heat?

A balloon that contains water would not last a long time under heat. the balloons latex rubber will not be able to handle the heat and will pop, but a balloon filled with air will pop instantly.


When a balloon is blown up then it is let go air molecules rush out of the balloon and join the air molecules in the earth's atmosphere. What happens to the enthaply in the balloon?

When the air rushes out of the balloon, it releases heat energy, which results in a decrease in enthalpy within the balloon. This process is known as an exothermic reaction, where energy is released to the surroundings.


What would happen if you heat a balloon?

Heating a balloon would cause the air inside it to expand, increasing the pressure. If the temperature gets too high, the balloon could burst due to the increased pressure.


What happens when a balloon is exsposed to heat?

When a balloon is exposed to heat, the air inside the balloon expands and the molecules move faster, causing the balloon to inflate. If the heat is excessive, the balloon may burst due to the increased pressure inside.


What is the heat of the planets in order?

The heat of the planets decrease the further from the sun they are. Mercury being the warmest planet and Neptune being the coldest.
