Why does a helium-filled balloon rise to a certain altitude in the atmosphere and float there instead of rising further?

The helium-filled balloon rises to a certain altitude in the atmosphere and floats because at that point, the buoyancy force (upward force) of the helium inside the balloon equals the gravitational force pulling the balloon downward, resulting in equilibrium. This balance of forces causes the balloon to stay at a stable altitude instead of rising further. Additionally, the surrounding air pressure and density decrease with altitude, affecting the balloon's ability to rise further.


What did James Glaisher make his balloon with?

James Glaisher made his balloon with silk fabric coated in rubber to make it airtight. The balloon was filled with hydrogen gas for buoyancy.


What is free lift in pilot balloon?

Free lift in a pilot balloon is the difference between the weight of the balloon and the weight of the volume of air it displaces. It is the excess lift of the balloon that allows it to ascend during its flight and carry the pilot line into the upper atmosphere for wind observations.


Why does a balloon filled up with light gas can rise up only to a certain height?

A balloon filled with light gas rises due to buoyancy generated by the difference in density between the gas inside the balloon and the surrounding air. However, as the balloon ascends, the air pressure decreases causing the gas inside the balloon to expand. Eventually, the gas will expand to the point where it equals the surrounding air density and the balloon will stop rising.


What will happen to a hydrogen balloon released on the moon?

It will fall. Wht makes a balloon rise is if what it's filled with is lighter than what's around it. But if the balloon is on the moon, what's around it is basically vacuum - nothing. And any gas is always something, and something is heavier than nothing.

Which of a hydrogen filled balloon air filled balloon and a carbon dioxide filled balloon will deflate the fastest and which is the slowest and explain your answer?

A hydrogen balloon will deflate the fastest because molecules of hydrogen are the smallest and thus will more easily slip through the latex of the balloon. The carbon dioxide-filled balloon will deflate the slowest because these molecules are the biggest, and thus will have more trouble escaping the tiny pores in the balloon.


Why A balloon filled hydrogen rises to a certain height stops rising why?

A balloon filled with hydrogen rises until it reaches a level in the atmosphere where the air pressure outside the balloon is equal to the pressure inside the balloon. At this point, the balloon stops rising because the difference in pressure is no longer enough to overcome the force of gravity pulling it downward.


Why inside balloon is a gas?

Its filled with gas because certain gases(Helium, Hydrogen) are lighter than air so they float. That's why the balloon floats.


Why inside balloon is gas?

Its filled with gas because certain gases(Helium, Hydrogen) are lighter than air so they float. That's why the balloon floats.


The Hindenburg was a balloon that exploded filled with what gas?

Hydrogen.


How are hydrogen and helium alike?

I'm fairly certain that both hydrogen and helium are lighter then air. Example, if you filled a balloon with either the balloon would float. And both are combustible. Hydrogen is some what more dramatic in its combustion however, the tragic example being the hindenburg.


Why a balloon filled with hydrogen gas floats in air?

A balloon filled with hydrogen gas floats in air because hydrogen is lighter than air. The buoyant force acting on the balloon is greater than the gravitational force pulling it down, allowing it to float.


What small balloon used to carry meteorological instruments into the atmosphere?

Just a met balloon - meteorological balloon. Generally filled with hydrogen.

Can a hydrogen filled balloon float in vacuum?

no it will not. because a balloon filled with hydrogen floats only because it is lighter than air so when there is a vacuum it will not float. it is like oil and water if there is no water oil is on the bottom if there is water it is on the top.


How does a balloon filled with nitrogen air fly up?

The composition of air is roughly 78% nitrogen and the remainder except a negligable amount of hydrogen is more dense than nitrogen. Therefore a balloon filled with nitrogen will be less dense then the surrounding air and thus will rise. The balloon will probaly not rise, as there is insufficient lift to overcome the weight of the balloon fabric. Are you sure you don't mean Helium, or Hydrogen?
