Where can you find free nitrogen?
i think you can find nitrogen in a hot air ballon
How does a balloon pilot use density to control the altitude of a balloon?
the pilot heats the air stored in the balloon with a large flame the hotter it gets the higher it goes because the heat changes the density to make it go up or down if the pilot decreases the size of the flame the hot air lowers because the smaller flame has less heat giving it a higher volume, but the air stays the same thus making it lower
What is the purpose of a piston?
It compresses the air in a engine or compressor.
What is the purpose of the spark plug?
It ignites the compressed air/fuel mixture.
Why is wedging clay important?
the purpose of wedging clay is to get the air bubles out. if you dont getthe air bubles out, when being fired, the air will try to escape your now hard pot, when it can't , it will explode your pot.
What is the purpose of the flame that is lit below a hot air balloon?
To increase enthalpy.the burner uses flames to heat the air so the balloon will rise
How is a hot air balloon able to float with a flame?
As to the reason a hot air balloon floats has already been explained, I will answer your question regarding the flame. The gas burner provides the flame which is placed just in the mouth of the ballon, when lit it provides more heat to the cooling air in the balloon causing the balloon to maintain altitude.
Why do gas ovens have the flame at the bottom?
Heat from the flame rises. The stuff below the flame would not be heated. The flame draws combustion air from beneath, by convection. Anything below the flame gets cooled. It's why one puts the kindling paper and wood shavings below the fireplace logs.
Inflate a balloon and tie it closed hold it over the flame observe what happens?
If a balloon is inflated and tied closed, then held over a flame, it will surely pop. The heat of the flame will melt the rubber that makes the balloon.
In what way is the lower crust different from the upper crust?
because the hot air ballon becames a hot air ballon
How does convection work in a hot air balloon?
When the air inside a hot air ballon is heated the hot air rises, which makes the ballon rise hope i helped ;)
How does a air ballon rise?
conduction
What forces make hot air balloons move?
the combination of air and heat cause the ballon to expand, therefore, the ballon will float.
Does heated air produce pressure?
Yes! The heated air molecules always wants to fly upwards because of being lite. We can take the example of a ballon filled with air. When ballon is heated the pressure increases and ballon brusts. This proves that hot air exerts pressure.
What is a good project for air when it's heated?
making a air ballon
Is a hot air balloon a thing?
the hot air ballon is a thing
What are some description of helium?
