No. We aren't the same age as the universe.
Answer:
M[min] = M[basket+people+ balloon, not gas] * ΔR/R[b]
ΔR is the difference in density between the gas inside and surrounding the balloon.
R[b] is the density of gas inside the baloon.
====================================
Let V be the volume of helium required.
Upthrust on helium = Weight of the volume of air displaced = Density of air * g * Volume of helium = 1.225 * g * V
U = 1.225gV newtons
----
Weight of Helium = Volume of Helium * Density of Helium * g
W[h] = 0.18gV N
Net Upward force produced by helium, F = Upthrust - Weight = (1.225-0.18) gV = 1.045gV N -----
Weight of 260kg = 2549.7 N
Then to lift the whole thing, F > 2549.7
So minimal F would be 2549.7
----
1.045gV = 2549.7
V = 248.8 m^3
Mass of helium required = V * Density of Helium = 248.8 * 0.18 = 44.8kg (3sf)
=====
Let the density of the surroundings be R
Then U-W = (1-0.9)RgV = 0.1RgV
So 0.1RgV = 2549.7 N
V = 2549.7 / 0.1Rg
Assuming that R is again 1.255, V = 2071.7 m^3
Then mass of hot air required = 230.2 * 0.9R = 2340 kg
Notice from this that M = 2549.7/0.9Rg * 0.1R so
M[min] = Weight of basket * (difference in density between balloon's gas and surroundings / density of gas in balloon)
M[min] = M[basket] * ΔR/R[b]
(a) At a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).
(b) If the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.

Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>
The effect of height and gravity on speed on the given planet Epislon is determined by applying the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as shown below;
ΔK.E = ΔP.E
¹/₂m(v²- u²) = mg(hi - hf)
¹/₂(v²- u²) = g(0 - hf)
v² - u² = -2ghf
v² = u² - 2ghf
where;
- v is the final velocity at upper level
- u is the initial velocity
- hf is final height
- g is acceleration due to gravity
when u² = 2gh, then v² = 0,
when gravity reduces, u² > 2gh, and v² > 0
Thus, at a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).
<h3>Final speed</h3>
v² = u² - 2ghf
where;
- u is the initial speed = 5 m/s
- g is acceleration due to gravity and its less than 9.8 m/s²
- v is final speed
- hf is equal height
Since g on Epislon is less than 9.8 m/s² of Earth;
5² - 2ghf > 3 m/s
Thus, if the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.
