The gas inside the inflated balloon has mass.

At standard atmospheric conditions at sea level air weighs approximately one kilogram per cubic metre. A 10 passenger hot air balloon has an inflated volume of about 9000 cubic metres so the air inside the balloon weighs around nine tonnes!

Is the mass of the deflated ballon different from the mass of the inflated ballon?

The mass of the deflated balloon is the same as the mass of the inflated balloon. The mass of an object does not change whether it is inflated or deflated.


Is the mass of the deflated balloon different from the mass inflated balloon?

No, the mass of the deflated balloon is the same as the mass of the inflated balloon, as the only thing that changes is the volume and density of the air inside the balloon.


Which weighs more a deflated balloon or inflated balloon?

An inflated balloon weighs more than a deflated one because the air inside adds mass to the balloon. When the balloon is deflated, it contains less air or no air at all, resulting in less weight.


Why does the balloon have more Why does the balloon have less mass when it is inflated?

When the balloon is inflated, it is filled with air, which has less mass than the solid material of the deflated balloon. So overall, the balloon has less mass when inflated because the mass of the air inside it is lighter than the solid material of the balloon.


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.


Does an inflated bike tube weigh more than a deflated bike tube?

It certainly would be heavier. Air has mass and will add weight.


Which has more mass an inflated basketball or a deflated basketball?

an inflated because it takes up more room than a deflated one It depends on how you define the basketball. If you define it as just the rubber, then the mass does not change when it is inflated. If you consider the air inside the ball to be part of the ball then adding more air adds more mass. Mass is "stuff". Air has mass because air is stuff.


Why does a larger balloon drop slower than a smaller balloon?

We are all similar to the experiment the scientist Galileo conducted when testing the laws of gravity. He had been atop the Leaning Tower Of Pisa and had thrown objects of the different weights and they had landed on the ground at the same time. This is because gravity pulls all objects, regardless of mass at the same speed. Some factors which could alter this could be air resistance, which causes friction. So if in a room without air, i think that the balloons will fall at the same time. Normally, though, i think that aside from some circumstances, the smaller balloon will fall first. (if there is air in the big one, of course it won't fall quickly, its mass will be reduced)


How much mass is in a deflated ball?

The mass of a deflated ball depends on its size, material, and original inflation level. Deflated balls will still have some mass due to the materials used to make them, such as rubber, leather, or synthetic fibers. The mass can be determined by weighing the deflated ball on a scale.


Which would be heavier and why a flat tire or an inflated tire?

Yes, there is more mass in an inflated balloon than a deflated one. The difference is the gas that was used to inflate the balloon. The gas may not weigh very much, but it does make a difference.


If you pushed a volleyball and a balloon with the same force which would have the greater acceleration?

The balloon would have a greater acceleration because it has less mass compared to the volleyball. According to Newton's second law (F = ma), with the same force applied, an object with less mass will have a greater acceleration.


What mass can a hot hot-air balloon carry?

The mass that a hot air balloon can carry depends on factors like the size of the balloon, outside temperature, and altitude. As a rough estimate, a typical hot air balloon can carry anywhere from 400 to 1000 pounds (180 to 450 kg) including passengers and equipment.
