Weather Balloon Experiment Analysis

The video tutorial discusses a scientific experiment involving the use of a weather balloon to measure energy spikes over a ranch. The team sets up the experiment by taking accurate measurements and launching the balloon equipped with necessary instruments. They aim to track the balloon online to determine the source of energy spikes. However, they encounter an issue when the data fails to update as expected. Interestingly, the balloon loses contact at the same altitude where RF energy was calculated, suggesting signals are being sent from above.

What was the purpose of using a weather balloon in the experiment?

• To measure temperature changes

• To gather data from a specific region

• To test wind speed

• To capture images of the ranch

What was the team hoping to achieve by tracking the balloon online?

• To test new tracking software

• To find the exact location of energy spikes

• To monitor weather conditions

• To communicate with other teams

What issue did the team encounter during the experiment?

• The weather conditions worsened

• The equipment malfunctioned

• The data was not updating as expected

• The balloon burst

At what altitude did the balloon lose contact?

• At the lowest point of the flight

• At the ground level

• At the calculated RF energy source altitude

• At the highest point of the flight

What conclusion did the team draw from the balloon losing contact?

• The balloon was defective

• There might be signals coming from above

• The equipment was too heavy

• The weather was too harsh
