was. The government cannot just print out more money for it will drastically affect the balloon economy. For me to further elaborate my point‚ let us imagine a balloon. Not an inflated one‚ but a new one that you just bought from a store. This deflated balloon is still so small that I cannot appreciate its beauty as a balloon. So I put more air in it and it grows to a considerable size. Imagine that the balloon is the economy‚ and the air inside it is the money circulating in the economy. If we put

Homer Gere Science - Perry 7-3 Kober Balloon Lab Report Problem: The goal of the balloon lab was to get a balloon attached to a line all the way across the room. One limitation was that we could only use one balloon‚ two straws‚ and tape. The circumference of the circle at its largest point couldn’t be larger than 100 cm. Procedure/Results: Trial Number | Distance Traveled (CM) | Time (sec) | Velocity (CM/sec) | 1 | 346 | 1.02 | 339.2 | 2 | 471 | .79 | 596.2 | 3 | 356 | .8 |

Balloon Car Experiment Newton’s First Law of Motion states that when an object is set in motion‚ it will remain in motion until acted on by an outside force. Theoretically‚ this could mean you could travel at the same speed forever in one direction‚ right? The reason we don’t see this happen is because of friction. The force of friction is the resistance to motion that is in the opposite direction of the traveling object. This is why if you roll a ball on the ground it eventually stops. Friction

The Balloon Man In a village long ago and far away‚ but one not so very different from those today‚ lived a group of superstitious people governed by poverty and hunger. Hunger not for food‚ but for money and control over other equally hungry and ruthless people. In this village lived a man‚ a man different from all the others. Every large grouping of people has one‚ no matter the century; the simpleton‚ dreamer‚ the lost. You see them on the street‚ exchanging their pride for a few worthless pieces

Helium Weather Balloons A weather balloon is a scientific instrument used by meteorologists to measure the activity of the world’s weather. Weather balloons are sent into the air every day‚ all over the world; they are sent up at the same time‚ and they are used to measure a variety of atmospheric pressures‚ temperatures‚ and wind rates. The data collected by weather balloons is saved and transmitted by the radiosonde. Sensors in the radiosonde record data and use a radio transmitter to send

Air Balloon Report Hot air balloons fill up slowly and then rise in the sky. Two important principles of physics: the ideal gas law and Archimedes’ principle are the reasons hot air balloons fly. The mathematical relationship between the volume pressure and the temperature of a gas is called the ideal gas law. When a gas is heated‚ as in a hot air balloon‚ then its volume will increase. However‚ there is a heater located in the balloon’s basket that heats the air inside the balloon and blows hot
