There is very little helium in air. It's much cheaper to get it from natural gas deposits, where the amount varies but can be as much as 4%.
The helium balloon went into the air with no problem, scientist watched with satisfaction as their project had succeeded.By: Nguyen :P
a helium balloon is forced upward by buoyancy. a object is forced upward by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. this also applies to gases. the gas helium is lighter than average atmospheric air, that is that equal volumes of atmospheric air and helium do not weigh the same. This means that the volume displaced by the balloon is heavier than the balloon itself. since the air weighs more it applies more force upwards on the balloon than the balloon applies downwards on the air, therefore it rises. However, a helium balloon will not go down unless a force such as large air resistance (heavy wind etc.) is applied to it. hope this helps.
If air is blown into a balloon then it will be full of air.If you want the balloon to float up then the gas you fill it with is not air but helium.[However please note that if a helium balloon escapes, it may burst and fall back to earth over the sea where it can harm sea creatures (especially turtles) who try to eat them - so please do not purchase helium balloons]
Helium is commonly used to inflate balloons as it is lighter than air. This causes the balloon to rise as the helium inside is less dense than the surrounding air.
Helium in a balloon is in a gaseous state. Helium is a light, non-toxic gas that is less dense than air, which is why it causes balloons to float.
No. they dont
helium balloons get filled with a amount of air in which is called helium it is used to make balloons float around in air. helium is a inert,gaseous element!!!!!yea i kenisha am smartHelium is less dense than air, therefore a helium-filled balloon will float in air.Helium is lighter that air, so it effectively floats on air. As a helium balloon is submerged in air, it rises upwards (like an air filled bubble in water).
Helium is lighter than air. so balloons filled with helium will float in air
Helium is lighter than air. So helium balloon rises in air.
Helium, hydrogen, and air are gases.
Yes. air is heavier than helium.
helium is a gas. air is a bunch of different gasses.
Helium has a lower density than air.
because helium is ligter than air
Helium is lighter than air. So balloons or air ships filled with helium will float.
Helium is lighter than air. hence helium balloon will float in air.
The density of helium is less than the density of air. You can infer this without doing any calculations by thinking about the classic example of inhaling the helium from a balloon and talking. Your voice gets squeeky high because helium is less dense than air - that is, your sound waves propagate faster through helium than through air, therefore helium is less dense.
