Hot air balloon Flashcards
1
Q
Describe why hot air balloons rise.
A
Hot air is less dense than cold air, so it will displace a greater volume of normal air, increasing the buoyancy force.
Note:
Higher temperature=higher volume=less dense
Lower temperature=Low volume=More dense

Q
how can u make an object fly?
A
reduce its average density so it becomes lower than the density of air.
