Is a feather heavier than air in a balloon?

Answer 1

The answer is both balloons have the same density, becasue whatever the shape of the object is, the density will always be the same

for example:

the density of 200 ml of water and 10 ml of water both has the same density 1 g/ml.

another example/experiment:

if you get a potato and put the whole potato in water it will sink.

if you cut a tiny little piece of the potato and put it in water it will also sink.

this is becasue both of potato have the same density!!!!!!

hoped this helped =]

Answer 2

A balloon filled with air is heavier than an empty balloon. The weight of the balloon alone is a constant, thus the only variable is the amount of air within it. More air equals more weight.

When you drop the balloons, the inflated balloon falls much slower than the empty balloon. This is not because it is lighter, only that it's increased mass displaces more of the surrounding air, slowing its descent through the air.

Answer 3

Trick question, the blimp is heavier than air, the gas in the blimp is lighter than air. The volume of gas in the blimp is such that it overcomes the additional weight of the blimp, and thus creates lift/buoyancy.

Answer 4

The balloon still weighs the same. It's mass is not changed as it stretches to hold air.

Answer 5

The air is more dense than the helium filled balloon. That is why the balloon rises when released into the air.

Answer 6

No, a feather is lighter than the air it displaces in a balloon due to its low density. This causes the feather to float upwards when placed in a balloon filled with air.

Answer 7

the one with air filled in it

Answer 8

yes
