Question
Hot air balloons float because the air inside an inflatable compartment is heated. Consider such a balloon that has an inflatable compartment of maximum volume 2160 m3 and a basket with passengers of total mass 370 kg.
a) To what temperature, in Celsius degrees, would the air inside the balloon have to be heated in order for the balloon to lift off the ground? Assume the molar mass of air is 28.97 g/mol and its density is 1.20 kg/m3.

Dividing the equations PV = nRT in the initial and final states, we have PfVf Tf P¡Vi Ti Solving for the final pressure in the tire, gives Pf = = = which gives I Tf P(V)() P₁ Vf T₁ = (1.013 x 105 Pa) x 105 Pa. Note that the volume V¡ cancels out of the equation. = Vf Po = Pr (V ( ) ( ) Pd Pf Vi V₁ Step 2 (b) After the car is driven, the temperature and volume of air in the tire have changed. Let Td be the temperature and Vd be the volume of air in the tire.

What can you say about the air inside the balloon and how much it can lift? The density of air is surprisingly high: 1.23 kg/m3, an average hot air balloon has a volume of 3000 m3 , and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. The density is higher by the factor (273 + 50)/(273+10) = 1.14 and therefore will not have a buoyant force and will not lift off the ground with any load. The density is lower by the factor (273 + 10)/(273+50) = 0.88 and therefore will have a buoyant force of 0.88 times the weight of the air it replaced, or about 32,000 N. The density is lower by the factor (273 + 10)/(273+50) = 0.88 and therefore will have a buoyant force of 0.12 times the weight of the air it replaced, or about 4300 N. The density is the same but the pressure of the hot air is higher by (273 + 50)/(273+10) =…arrow_forward
