Hot air balloon rises up in sky because

A

Hot air is more dense than cold air.

B

Hot air is less dense than cold air.

C

volume of a gas decreases on heating

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
According to Charle.s law .volume of a gas increases on heating and its density (mass/volume) decreases.. Since hot air is less dense than cold air therefore hot air inside the balloon is lighter than cold atmospheric air.
As a result of this, hot air balloon rises up by displacing the atmospheric air.
Therefore, hot air balloon rises up in sky as hot air is less dense than cold air.

    Why a balloon that rises far up in the sky eventually bursts?

    A hot air balloon is carrying some passengers , and a few sandbage of mass 1kg each so that its total mass is 480 kg . Its effective volume giving the balloon its buoyancy is V. The balloon rises to a new equilibrium height close to 150 m with its volume remining unchange . If the variation of the density of air with height h from the ground is rho (h) = rho_(o) e , where rho_(0) = 1.25 kg m^(-3) hu = 6000 m, the vlaue of N is ______________ .

    A hot air balloon rising straight up from a level field is tracked by a range finder 500 ft from the lift-off point. At the moment the range finder's elevation angle is (pi)/(4) . The angle is increasing at the rate of 0.14 rad/min. How fast is the balloon rising at the moment ?
