Types Of Hot Air Balloons

Types Of Hot Air Balloons
can anyone think of a good title for my science fair project?

My science fair project involves testing four types of cloth (nylon, rip-stop nylon, polyester and silk) in order to determine which would be best for the envelope (balloon) of a hot air balloon.

The tests were: weight, tearing strength, durability (drag across sandpaper), and heat resistance (in oven).

i could only think of “testing textiles” or “up, up, and away” but i know there are better ones out there.

Your ideas are good, but I will try to suggest a few more for you:

1) Strength testing
2) Through the test of time
3) How does your fabric stand up

Not very good ones… but at least it’s a try! Good Luck!!

Advertising Balloon
An advertising balloon tied to Ajax Towing’s front office is on a 300 foot rope, and is flying directly over a

highway. If the angle the string makes with the ground is 78 degrees, how far is the highway from Ajax Towing?

50 feet
62 feet
300 feet
100 feet
60 feet

3. How long is the rope?

since cos(angle) = adjacent side / hypotenuse, you can calculate the distance of the adjacent side with this formula:

300 * cos(78 degrees)

it’s a little more than 62 feet.

and for the second part of your question, you told us the rope was 300 feet long.
