  1. So for my Gasol's project, I decided to choose scenario number two,
  2. which is a hot air balloon scenario.
  3. So you are a hot air balloon operator wanting to voyage across
  4. the atlantic ocean without plummeting to your death in shark infested waters.
  5. So what factors do I need to take into account in terms of gas laws in
  6. order to make it safely across the ocean and what gas laws apply to this situation.
  7. So the factors I need to take into consideration our first, the volume,
  8. the size of the high air balloon can determine the volume.
  9. We want a bigger hot air balloon as it contains
  10. a bigger volume and can go higher in the air,
  11. making our voyage across the atlantic possible.
  12. We also need to take into consideration the temperature.
  13. We also need a proper temperature present fueling the hot air balloon,
  14. since volume and temperature are directly proportional
  15. according to our gas law as one goes up. So does the other,
  16. as the temperature in the hot air balloon goes up,
  17. so does the volume that's allowing the balloon to go higher.
  18. So what gas law does this pertain to?
  19. It applies to Charles law.
  20. And the explanation is that Charles law means that the set volume of an
  21. object is directly proportional to the temperature of the object as one goes up.
  22. So does the other, they are directly proportional.
  23. So the solution.
  24. The final solution to our problem is to increase the temperature adequate to
  25. the volume of the balloon in order to keep it in the air.
  26. The bigger the balloon, the higher can go
  27. and the heat gas released from the fire to fuel fills up the balloon,
  28. which makes it flow and go higher.
  29. So how does this work?
  30. Well, First, when he gets added to the balloon,
  31. it increases the kinetic energy of the gas
  32. particles causing the particles to move around.
  33. And as the particles get heated up,
  34. they move against the cold air surrounding them and allow the balloon to rise
  35. as there's cold air both inside and outside the balloon Before it is heated up,
  36. it will go the natural direction in which cold air moves, which is downward,
  37. but whatever heat is added,
  38. the heat particles move around in the balloon,
  39. allowing the balloon to move in the director general
  40. motion that the heat moves in which is upward.
  41. A smaller balloon means a smaller volume and
  42. flame so we cannot travel or float higher.
  43. But a larger balloon means that we can have a larger
  44. flame as well since the volume of the balloon has gone.
  45. This means that the balloon can float up faster and travel longer.
