What will happen to a balloon filled with hydrogen?
Solution: A balloon filled with hydrogen rises to a certain height and more weight of air is displaced than the weight of balloon. But as it rises higher, the density of air decreases and upthrust becomes less and ultimately upthrust becomes equal to the weight of balloon and it stops riding further.
What difference will you get from the flying of air filled balloon and hydrogen filled balloon?
The balloon has to displace some air, so in response, the air pushes up on it. But hydrogen is less dense than air, so the air pushes up on the balloon harder than gravity is pulling it down, and the balloon tries to move up! So just like wood float on water, hydrogen balloons float on air.
Why does a balloon filled with helium gas rise higher than a balloon filled with air?
A balloon inflated with helium has less total mass than the air it displaces; its weight (and average density) also are lesser. Therefore the buoyant force exceeds the weight force, the net force on the balloon is upwards, and the balloon rises.
What happens to a balloon filled with hydrogen if it is released on the moon?
The balloon bursts because the atmospheric of the moon is much lower than that of earth. The balloon contracts because the atmospheric pressure of the moon is much lower than that of earth. No change is observed because change of atmospheric pressure has no effect on the balloon.
Why does hydrogen balloon rise up?
Hydrogen being lighter than air, the weight of air displaced by hydrogen ballon is greater than the weight of hydrogen. Therefore, the buoyant force on the the hydrogen balloon is greater than its weight and hence it rises up.
Does a hydrogen filled balloon possess any potential energy explain?
So, the volume of Hydrogen in the balloon is lighter than the same volume of air. The work against the gravitational force is stored as potential energy in the balloon. So, a Hydrogen filled balloon possesses potential energy.
Why does a balloon filled with helium gas rises up?
Hint:The balloon rises up in the air because the weight of the helium gas is less than the weight of the displaced air by the balloon that is upthrust. As we rise in the atmosphere, the density of the air decreases.
Is it possible to go up to the moon in a balloon if yes how if not why?
A helium-filled balloon can float very high up into the atmosphere, however, it cannot float up into outer space. The air in Earth’s atmosphere gets thinner the higher up you go.
