How does a balloon hovercraft work does it have lots of forces acting on it and what does friction have to do with it?

In: Science, Physics [Edit categories]

Answer:

It has lift by having hot air, which rises. Gravity, Lift, and Friction act upon the balloon hovercraft. The friction is a fluid friction known as Air Resistance.

Relevant answers:

If a force is acting on an object does it do work?
It does if the object moves. The work done is (force) times (distance moved). Pushing on a brick wall does no work. Pushing a book does work.
Is friction will work against force?
Friction will work against force
What is the direction of the force acting on the balloon?
The force in an inflated balloon is exerted outward equally in all directions.
A force acting on an object does no work if?
the force is not in the direction of the objects motion.
What are all the forces acting on a moving balloon?
Gravity is pulling everything down. The hot air in the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air, so the air forces it up through what is called buoyancy. Any air movement will shove the balloon...
