Question

what type of energy transformation takes place when you fill air in a balloon?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

kinetic energy

Explanation:

Hot air balloons use a propane burner that converts chemical energy to thermal energy. The hot air is less dense than than the colder air and it lifts the balloon off the ground. When they are off the ground the balloon and the basket have potential energy because they are above ground level. When the balloon runs out of propane the air in the balloon will cool off slowly and the balloon will slowly return to the ground. Propane burners also produce light and sound which are also forms of energy. All of the energy is derived from burning the propane.
