There is no weight in an empty balloon. Empty balloons will not stay on the ground long enough to have any real weight.

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.


What does the balloon contain?

When empty, nothing.


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.

How does a hot-air balloon rise?

The upthrust on the balloon is greater than the weight of the balloon. Thus, it rises upwards. The upthrust on the balloon is greater than the weight of the balloon because the air inside it has a lower density than the surrounding air.


How do you prove air has weight?

if you take balloon and water in a small-bowl and pour it in a weighting machine on one side and other side keep the balloon then the balloon will weight.

What is free lift in pilot balloon?

The free lift of the Pilot Balloon is defined as the difference between the total lift and the weight of the balloon and its load. The free lift is really the net buoyancy of the balloon. Thus free lift is the force tending to drive the balloon (Hydrogen filled) upward, which depends upon the amount of hydrogen gas filled in it. If a hydrogen balloon is inflated until it floats with certain weight attached to it, than it indicates that the attached weight balances the upward force acting on it. This weight is called free lift of the balloon and if weight is removed, the balloon rises up (with fixed rate of ascent corresponding to weight attached while inflating).


How does the size of a balloon effect the mass it can weigh?

it's because of the ratio of the weight of the air in the balloon to the air outside the balloon
