Why does a swimming float float?
Because it has air in it. Air weighs less than water therefore air floats.
What weighs less than a feather?
air, a cookie crumb or a fruit fly
Why does an airship float in air?
An airship uses helium which weighs less than air, and it cancels out the weight of the airship. Hydrogen weighs even less than helium, but it is combustible, so helium is preferred for use in airships.
Air weighs less than water would you expect the pressure exerted by water to be greater or less than the pressure exerted by the same amount of air?
water is more dense than air and it has at
Does an empty balloon weigh less than a balloon full of air?
Yes, an empty balloon weighs less than a balloon filled with air because the air adds to the overall weight of the balloon.
Which weighs more a deflated balloon or inflated balloon?
An inflated balloon weighs more than a deflated one because the air inside adds mass to the balloon. When the balloon is deflated, it contains less air or no air at all, resulting in less weight.
Why does an innertube float?
An innertube floats for the same reason that a balloon filled with helium floats in the air. In a helium balloon the gas is lighter than the air. Air in an innertube weighs less than the water and therefore floats to the top. This is called buoyancy. It weighs less than the water but more than the air above the water due to the rubber of the tube. This is why it stays on the surface and does not float away into the sky.
A balloon fish that swallows air will float because it weighs less than what?
The balloon fish will float because it weighs less than the volume of water it displaces. By swallowing air, the fish increases its volume without significantly increasing its weight, allowing it to float at the water's surface.
Volume of warm air weighs less than an equal volume of cold air because?
warm air is less dense than cold air due to the fact that the molecules in warm air have more energy and thus move farther apart from each other. This results in less mass per unit volume of warm air compared to cold air.
What bid weighs less then a penny?
Air, of course.
What makes a helium balloon fly?
A balloon filled with helium flies because helium weighs less than air.
Would a bottle of helium gas weigh more or less than an identical bottle filled with air at the same pressure?
The bottle of helium gas would weigh less than the identical bottle filled with air at the same pressure. Helium is less dense than air, so a bottle filled with helium weighs less due to the difference in density of the two gases.
