Question

A hot air balloon pilot is choosing a day and time to launch her new balloon. Table 1 shows the weather forecast for the next three days.

Temperature at 6 a.m. (°C). Temperature at 12 p.m. (°C). Temperature at 6 p.m. (°C)
Monday. 4. 18. 22
Tuesday. 6. 19. 24
Wednesday. 10. 20. 25

If the pilot wants to rise as high as possible while using as little fuel as possible, on which day should she launch her balloon? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

The balloon will rise the most on Wednesday due to high temperature that will increase the thermal energy of the balloon and cause it to rise higher.

Average daily temperature

The average daily temperature of the different days is calculated as follows;

Monday = (4 + 18 + 22)/3 = 14.67 ⁰C

Tuesday = (6 + 19 + 24)/3 = 16.3 ⁰C

Wednesday = (10 + 20 + 25)/3 = 18.3 ⁰C

The average daily temperature of Wednesday is the greatest.

The balloon will rise the most on Wednesday due to high temperature that will increase the thermal energy of the balloon and cause it to rise higher.
