drop a piece of paper from the height

A2. An interesting experiment would be to blow up a series of party balloons, (of the same variety) and time their rate of descent when dropped from a height of ten feet or so.

The first balloon will have one puff, the second, two puffs, the 3rd will have 4 puffs, then 8, 16 and so on. Though the puffs are not well calibrated, and the balloons will expand, the balloons at 8 and 16 should be heavier, and should fall faster. The first balloon will have more latex that air compared to its peers, so it will fall fastest (probably), but from there, the time plot should form a smooth curve.

Show a diagram that shows how air has weight?

it would be very hard to draw but if you draw 2 ballons one with air and one with no air then see which ones heavier it has to be the ballon filled with air


How much does a bag half full of air weigh how about full?

The weight of a bag half full of air would depend on the size and material of the bag, but it would be very light. A bag filled with air would also be very light, as air has a low density. The weight of the air itself would be negligible compared to the weight of the bag.


How can you weigh air in a balloon?

To weigh air in a balloon, you would first need to weigh the balloon when it is empty. Next, fill the balloon with air and weigh it again. The difference in the weights would give you an approximation of the weight of the air in the balloon. However, this method would not provide an accurate measurement of the weight of the air due to factors like the weight of the balloon material and the presence of air inside the balloon.


Does air have mass or weight?

Air has mass because it is made up of molecules, primarily nitrogen and oxygen. Weight, on the other hand, is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. So, air does not have weight itself, but the air in an object (such as a balloon) would be influenced by gravity and have weight.


Did the two balloon get lighter or heavier when air was blew into them?

The balloons would become heavier when air is blown into them because the additional air adds weight to the balloons. The increase in weight is due to the added mass of the air molecules inside the balloons.

What is the weight of air?

The weight of air would have to be the average weight of a coconut in July when it's raining dancing under a pomtree drinking cool aid. Or.... 1.00 grams

How will you provide that the air has weight?

Take a large container, pump out all the air from inside it. Weigh it. Put air inside and then weigh it again. The difference would be the weight of the air inside. Air molecules have mass (air is "stuff") and things with mass have weight when in a gravitational field, such as on Earth. If air didn't have any weight, we wouldn't even have an atmosphere.

Is air inside the balloon has weight?

Air has weight wherever it is. The weight of a jug full of air depends on the temperature and pressure in the jug. At sea-level pressure and 32 degrees, one pound of air fills about 92.7 gallons, and the air in a 10-ft x 12-ft bedroom with a 7-ft ceiling represents about 67.8 pounds of weight. Don't forget, though, that anything surrounded by fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, and a room full of air displaces ... one roomfull of air! So it 'floats', and winds up with a net weight of essentially zero. (If you could suddenly heat all the air in the room, making it less dense than the air around it, then the buoyant force would be more than its weight, and it would want to rise. Then the room would be a "hot-air balloon".)


Does air have weight?

Anything with mass has weight; air has mass, therefore it has weight.


Is inflated tire lighter?

No, heavier by the weight of the extra air put inside it. Even if you filled the tire with helium it is still heavier, although the additional weight would be less than the additional weight of air.

Is there auditions for the suite life on deck?

Where would you expect the air pressure to be greatest in a valley?

The air pressure would be greatest at the bottom of the valley because air is denser at lower altitudes due to the weight of the overlying air column.
