Why does a balloon filled with the air from your lungs sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats ?

Helium is lighter than air from the lungs.

Explanation:

A balloon filled with the air from lungs will sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats because helium is lighter than air.

Air is a mixture of many gases.

The air from the lungs is predominantly made up of carbon dioxide and water vapor.

  • Gram per mole of carbon dioxide is 44. Water vapor is 18.
  • Compared to helium which is 4, we see that the gas is lighter.
  • Since the gas is lighter, it will float in air.
  • The main component of air around us is nitrogen gas with a gram per mole of 28.
  • A balloon filled with more of air from the lungs weigh more than that will filled air around and even far more than helium gas.
  • This will cause a helium filled balloon to float.

The average radius of Mars is 3,397 km. If Mars completes one rotation in 24.6 hours, what is the tangential speed of objects on
sammy [17]

Answer: First, we determine the circumference of the Mars by the equation below.  

                                     C = 2πr

Substituting the known values,

                                     C = 2(π)(3,397 km) = 6794π km

To determine the tangential speed, we divide the circumference calculated above by the time it takes for Mars to complete one rotation and that is,

                   tangential speed = 6794π km / 24.6 hours = 867.64 km/h
