Hot Air Balloon Analysis

748 Words3 Pages

Hot Air Balloon Analysis In the duration of this project there were many factors that needed to be kept into consideration. The most important was the laws of gas, because the hot air balloon needed to be be constructed enough to withstand the air and have enough room for the hot air particles to move making the balloon have a successful flight. Due to the hot air particles move as a faster rate making then collide to each other which causes the balloon to have enough energy to take flight. While actually launching the ballon I began to see the balloon that did take flight and those who did not. In the beginning of the class launch many of the hot air balloon were successful. As I continue to observes them I began to see a pattern of which …show more content…

While there design was nice and pleasing to the eye most did not meet the height limit. Observing the shape, most failed due to having a small space horizontal design. This design caused limited the hot air, making it difficult for air to reach the whole circumference of the balloon causing to to not float as well as others. Another thing was the design became the downfall of the balloon. People who were careless added too much decoration causing the balloon to have more weight than needed, making the ballon have a difficult time floating. The other thing that caused downfalls for the balloons was the durability around the metal wire in the balloon. Due to the uneven construction many had the tissue paper rip from the wire causing complications to the balloon and launching.Many complications were due to faulty workmanship, balloon shape, and excessive …show more content…

The most noticeable to me was the shape of the balloon, i would change it so that i has more of a globe shape rather that a flat shape. Due to the horizontal flat shape the metal wire had to be place on either side making it harder for the air to enter and inflate most of the balloon. Most complications were due to our shape being an egg, which my group decided to put two pieces together which over all made it a asymmetrical shape. Naturally I would like to change the symmetry of the shape which could also change the place of the wire to a more suitable area. One major thing was gluing, if I had the chance to redo this project i would like to have more precise gluing on seams and edges of our hot air balloon. While our project was not the best i felt as though we did a good job at teamwork but there were some things I would like to change. To conclude, many things were needed to be understood for a successful launch of the balloon. One main thing what how the hot gas and particles move in the balloon. While another was the shapes, designs, and construction of the balloon should also be taken into account. While our group balloon was not the most successful I understood the problems that were the cause of the failure. This project help me understand the importance of design and research needed to make the final

The Pop Rocks have a very small amount of carbon dioxide in them. When the Pop Rocks are in your mouth they dissolve and the carbon dioxide is released making the pieces of candy explode in your mouth. When the Pop Rocks come in contact with the soda, the gas in the Pop Rocks escape after disolving and the carbon dioxide escapes from the liquid into the balloon. When this happens it causes the gas to make the balloon expand bigger and bigger until the air can escape.

First the ball had a small hole directly in the center and the rod had an uneven end these presented challenges for getting an accurate measurement in step III. Second the errors in the measurements were carried through and expanded by the calculations performed. The obtaining the volume via the displacement method was only one step without calculations. Thus I believe the displacement method produce better measurments. 4.

My project is about how temperature and air pressure affect the distance a football can be thrown. When the air is warmer the molecules move faster and spread apart, therefore making the air pressure lower and making the ball lighter. But when the air is cooler the molecules move slower and move closer together, making the air pressure higher making the ball

Also, the pictures above show how the egg changed from being tight and solid to being flexible. The observations also say that the egg felt like a water balloon and was full of water inside. Overall, the egg greatly shrunk in size. Finally, when the egg was placed in corn syrup, it floated on the surface of the solution. This was because the egg floated in solutions hypertonic to its inside.

Place the the beaker onto a hot plate that is on a low heat setting (about setting 3). Every 5 minutes for 20 minutes, measure the circumference of the balloon and record it in Data Table A. You can measure the circumference of the balloon by looping a piece of string around it then using a ruler to measure the string’s length. Record the data in the data

CHAPTER: (1) Introduction 1.1 Problem Summary and Introduction: The goal for our group is to design a ping pong ball launcher. The launcher needs to be scheduled to launch one solo ping pong ball one at a time over a set obstacle and into a bucket of a chosen diameter. The determination is for the launcher to have the capability to launch five ping pong balls one at a time into the container within one minute, having none of the ping pong balls bounce out or miss the bucket. The launcher can be made out of any matter preferred and can launch the ping pong ball in any anticipated way, except by explosion.

Title: THE BALLOON INFLATION REACTION Introduction: Chemistry is one thing that makes us understand and gives us reasons of why certain reactions gives certain results. In this experiment we will be illustrating the reaction between baking powder and vinegar and see what happens to the balloon that is attached to it. Hypothetically the reaction of the vinegar and baking powder will produce carbon dioxide which will inflate the balloon. If the more vinegar may happen that when more vinegar is added to the baking powder it may produce more carbon dioxide thus the balloons diameter increases.

Waiting on every exhausting whim of an 18 year old preserved corpse sounds absurd and impossible, but for H.P. Lovecraft’s first person narrator in “Cool Air” it is a shocking reality. The strategic application of first person point of view keeps the reader on edge with a limited view. Any other point of view would reveal too much information on the pivotal Doctor Muñoz, and not allow access to the narrator's thoughts and emotions. First person point of view in H.P. Lovecraft’s “Cool Air” connects the reader to the emotions of the narrator and keeps critical plot information a mystery.

As well, this study is also important because it could affect the manufacturing of the candles, in terms of amount of materials and dyes that should be added to the candles, especially from safety and environment perspectives. Evaluation: Limitation How This Limitation Affected Your Results Realistic Improvements The height of the candle used in the experiment was relatively small, which made the measuring process challenging.
