Answer to Question 1

A hot air balloon rises: as we heat the gas in a balloon, the internal pressure increases and the balloon expands. Therefore the density of the air inside decreases and when the average density of the entire balloon (balloon material plus basket plus air inside) becomes less than the density of air outside, the balloon rises, gaining gravitational energy.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
