Application of Archimedes' Principle

Hot Air Balloon


1. Buoyant Force=weight of hot air balloon, hot air balloon is at a constant height
2. Buoyant Force> weight of hot air balloon, hot air balloon rises upwards
3. Buoyant Force<weight of hot air balloon, hot air balloon is descend.

To ensure the hot air balloon is easier to move upwards:-
a. increase the volume of hot air
b. heat the air in the hot air balloon.
