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.
What is the difference between a full and an empty balloon?
A full balloon contains more gas than an empty balloon (even an empty balloon contains a little air). Therefore a full balloon is heavier than an empty balloon (assuming the balloons are the same weight to begin with). However, if filled with a lighter-than-air gas, such as helium, the full balloon will defy gravity due to its increased buoyancy. The only other difference is that the skin of a full balloon will be stretched and will therefore be much thinner than the skin of an empty balloon. This stretching increases the pressure upon the gas contained therein, therefore the gas is compressed inside the balloon.
Why does a balloon blast when too much air is blown into it?
if you think about it, air molecules increase more and more. And the balloon has it flexibility. But the balloon can only stretch out a far distance. Henceforth, too much air molecules from you will make the balloon pop
How can objects have the same mass but have different volume?
If they have different densities. Imagine a balloon. Now fill it up with air: it expands. Imagine another balloon, and fill it with water until it has the same volume as the first one. The water filled one will be much heavier. This is because the water particles are much closer together; you can fit more of them in the same volume. The gas particles, on the other hand, bounce around with lots of empty space in between them. There are fewer gas particles and the balloon has less mass.
A cart loaded with groceries has more inertia because it has more mass than the empty cart.?
Yes definitely!
Why does a blown up balloon weigh more than a flat one?
Since air is matter, it does have mass. So adding its mass to the mass of the balloon would cause the balloon to have more mass. Weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on an object and an object with more mass is "pulled" more, so the balloon with air in it would indeed be heavier than a balloon without air.

Explain how you know that air is matter?
Determine the mass of an empty balloon. Then blow as much air as you can into the balloon and determine the mass again. The blown up balloon should be heavier and occupy more volume (is bigger). This shows that the air used to blow it up has mass and volume, and therefore is matter.
How much does a balloon weigh?
The mass of the balloon material plus the mass of the compressed gas within it. The fact that this might be less than the mass of atmospheric air which it displaces is of no consequence to this answer. But that will affect the result of any attempt to weigh it.

What has more mass a hot air balloon or a blimp?
blimp
Does air have have mass?
Yes. Mass is a property of matter. All matter has mass. Air is matter in the gaseous phase. Anything that takes up space has matter. An atom takes up space, and air is made of atoms. (Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen mainly..) . So since it takes up space, it has mass. You can visualize this by simply blowing up a balloon. The balloon is empty at first. As you inflate the balloon with air from your lungs, the flexible sides of the balloon must expand to accommodate the increased volume of air. The more air you put in, the harder the air presses against the sides of the balloon, and the firmer the balloon gets. Pretty soon the balloon has stretched as far as it can, and then >bang<! The pressure of air is too much, and it bursts. If your Basketball is "flat", it simply doesn't have enough air inside it to keep it firm. More air = more pressure. So you can see clearly that "air", even though it is invisible, does indeed have mass.
Does a large rock or a hot air balloon have more density?
as is, a rock, because density is mass over volume and a hot air balloon has a lesser/similar mass (stuff) but is spread out (volume) more than a rock.
Does a cart loaded with groceries have more inertia because it has more mass than an empty cart?
True. Mass is the only way to measure inertia. more mass = more inertiaYes, a cart loaded with groceries has more inertia because it has more mass than the empty cart. The inertia of any object is determined by the amount of its mass.Truetrue
A balloon is blown up its origonal size what is the new pressure?
The same as before. Without any information you can't expect more.
Which has more volume a balloon filled with water or air?
The volum is similar, the mass is different.
