The answer is both balloons have the same density, becasue whatever the shape of the object is, the density will always be the same

for example:

the density of 200 ml of water and 10 ml of water both has the same density 1 g/ml.

another example/experiment:

if you get a potato and put the whole potato in water it will sink.

if you cut a tiny little piece of the potato and put it in water it will also sink.

this is becasue both of potato have the same density!!!!!!

hoped this helped =]

A balloon filled with air is heavier than an empty balloon. The weight of the balloon alone is a constant, thus the only variable is the amount of air within it. More air equals more weight.

When you drop the balloons, the inflated balloon falls much slower than the empty balloon. This is not because it is lighter, only that it's increased mass displaces more of the surrounding air, slowing its descent through the air.

Trick question, the blimp is heavier than air, the gas in the blimp is lighter than air. The volume of gas in the blimp is such that it overcomes the additional weight of the blimp, and thus creates lift/buoyancy.

The balloon still weighs the same. It's mass is not changed as it stretches to hold air.

The air is more dense than the helium filled balloon. That is why the balloon rises when released into the air.

Why does an argon balloon sink?

Because it is heavier than air.


Why does a coin fall down faster than a feather?

Because the feather has a massive amount of air resistance. The coin is small and dense, so it falls through the air much easier.


Why don't normal balloons stay in the sky?

Due to the weight of the balloon. A balloon is merely a capsule full of air so it will fall to the ground as the balloon weighs it down. A helium balloon will rise into the air because helium is less dense than normal air (i.e. it weighs less). The air inside the balloon is the same density as the air outside. The balloon material itself is heavier than air, which causes the balloon to sink. If you decrease the density of the trapped air, such as by heating it or replacing it with hydrogen or helium, the balloon may become even lighter than the balloon material and an equal volume of normal air, in which case the balloon will float or rise.


Why is a balloon heavier when it is blown up with air?

This depends on whether you consider what is inside the balloon to be a part of the balloon, since the weight of the balloon skin will remain the same regardless of what is inside it. If, however, you consider the contents of the balloon to constitute a part of the balloon's mass then it will always be heavier when inflated, regardless of the density of the substance with which it is inflated. However, in this case the density of the balloon will fall when inflated if the contents are less dense than the material of the balloon, which is highly likely since the substance would probably be a gas. Therefore the balloon would be heavier but less dense.
