Is balloon floating in air a projectile?
No, a balloon floating in the air is not considered a projectile. A projectile is an object that is launched into the air and moves under the force of its own momentum and gravity, following a curved path. A balloon floating in the air is being supported by the buoyant force of the air around it.
How does hot and cold air have an effect on an balloon?
If there is warm air in the balloon, cooler air makes the balloon rise and if there is cold air in the balloon warmer air makes the balloon fall.
What type of energy is a balloon floating?
A balloon floating in the air is using potential energy, which is energy stored in an object due to its position. The balloon is being lifted by buoyant force, which is the result of the difference in densities between the helium inside the balloon and the air outside.
What kind of energy does a balloon floating through the air?
A balloon floating through the air primarily has potential energy due to its height in the atmosphere. As it descends, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it moves through the air.
What are the two forces acting on a hot air ballon that is floating?
The two forces acting on a hot air balloon that is floating are buoyant force, which pushes the balloon up, and gravity, which pulls the balloon down. These two forces are in equilibrium, allowing the balloon to float at a constant altitude.
How does a hot air balloon stays in the air?
A hot air balloon can stay in the air because the hot air is less dense than cool air. The hot air that is blown into the balloon causes it to rise and a burner is used to heat the air inside of the balloon to keep it floating.
Give 5 examples of upthrust?
1) A boat on water - upthrust going up keeping it a float also known as buoyancy. 2)Swimmer- upthrust (or buoyancy again) keeps the swimmer on top of the water. 3) A helium filled balloon - helium is lighter than air so it displaces it, pushing up into the air. 4)A hot air balloon - same principals of a helium balloon. can only think of 4 sorry. 5) jumping out of a plane. 6)it is what makes a parachute lift one up when falling.
What force makes a hot air balloon rise up into the air?
The upthrust exerted by surrounding air on the balloon.
What type of energy is being used as a balloon floating through the air?
The balloon floating through the air is using potential energy, which is stored energy due to its position above the ground. As the balloon rises higher, it gains more potential energy, which is converted into kinetic energy when it moves.
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.
Why would heating the gas in a hot air balloon make the balloon rise?
When the gas (air) in a hot air balloon is heated it becomes less dense. This makes the balloon more buoyant so it rises.Because heating the air inside the balloon makes it less dense than the air surrounding the outside of the balloon, so it will rise.
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.
