What else can I help you with?
Is air heavy or light?
Generally, dry air is heavier than humid air because the water vapor is lighter than the nitrogen and oxygen that make up 99% of the atmosphere. Also, cold air is heavier than warm air. which is the basis for most of our weather. The reason cold air is heavier is due to the molecules being packed closer together.
Why do your heavy and light balls not bounce higher than your bouncy ball?
The heavy ball has more inertia and the light ball has less energy, hence they do not bounce as high as the bouncy ball. The bouncy ball is designed with a material that can store and quickly release kinetic energy upon impact, leading to a higher bounce.
Does a parachute fall quicker with a heavy or light weight?
A heavy weight will cause the parachute to fall at a faster rate than a light weight due to gravity's pull. The air resistance provided by the parachute will slow down the descent of both heavy and light weights.
When using a catapult what type of ball will travel further - heavy or light?
A heavier ball typically travels further when using a catapult because it can store more potential energy and release it more efficiently upon launch. Light balls may be more affected by air resistance and have less momentum, resulting in a shorter distance traveled.
Glass causes light to bend more than air does?
That's correct. Glass has a higher refractive index than air, which means that light travels at a slower speed in glass compared to air, causing it to bend more when passing from air to glass. This bending of light is also known as refraction.
Why can you run faster than you can swim?
Because water is heavy, Air is light.
Which frisbee's can stay in the air the longest heavy or light?
Light because the wind is able to carry the disc farther.
Why doesn't light travel as straight or far in water as in air?
There are more things for the light waves to bounce off of in water, so light can not travel in a straight line or as far.
Does air molecules escape into space?
Air molecules do escape into space it depends on how heavy or hoe light they are. However, lighter molecules of air have greater velocities while heavy molecules of air has less velocities were gravity pulls the air downwards.

What do the lungs do during exercise?
The lungs expand to take in more air while you breathe heavy and breathing more then normal day-to-day things like cleaning the house washing the dashes etc.
At a campfire the ash from the burning wood goes up into the air instead of downwards even though gravity causes all things to fall downwards?
While its true (but simplistic) that gravity causes things to fall downwards, the force is more powerful on heavy things then on light things. That's why air, which is very light, remains above the ground. Now, the ash from your campfire is light, but not as light as air, so at first glance it should still fall to the ground. But, you have to understand what's going on with the fire. As the fire warms the air directly above it, that air expands, becoming less dense. The force of gravity on that warm air lessens in comparison to the colder air around the campfire, causing the warmer air to rise. Ashes from your campfire are caught in this rising warm air. Because they have very large surface-area-to-mass ratios, they are much more affected by moving air than by gravity. (This is the same reason a sail on a sailboat billows out in a strong wind, rather than hanging limp.) And so, the ashes rise along with the rising warm air. However, if you continue to follow the flight of the ashes, you will see that, once the ash is freed from the rising warm air, it will eventually fall back to the ground
Does light fill more space in a vacuum or in air?
In air, light reflects off gas molecules and hence, "fills more space".
What are 4 basic things living things must satisfy?
air water food and light
What is heavier a warm front or a cold front?
A warm front is generally heavier than a cold front due to the warm air being less dense than cold air. Warm air rises over cold air at a warm front, creating a less steep slope as compared to the lifting of cold air at a cold front.
Does a parachute fall quicker with a heavy or light weight?
A heavy weight will cause the parachute to fall at a faster rate than a light weight due to gravity's pull. The air resistance provided by the parachute will slow down the descent of both heavy and light weights.
