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.

No. In fact the inflated volleyball is slightly heavier because the compressed air inside will be a bit denser than the air outside.

lighter and at the same time it makes it hurt worse to hit it

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

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


Why is the mass of inflated balloon is greater than the mass of the deflated balloon?

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!


Which would go faster a D-inflated football or a inflated football?

An inflated football is essentially more aerodynamic than a deflated football. The inflated one would travel faster and a greater distance. However, if you dropped them both at the same time, they would it the ground at the same time, because gravity pulls everything downward at 9.81 meters per second squared (ignoring the effects of air resistance in this last case).


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.


Does the football weigh more or less deflated?

Slightly less


How do you lift a large mass with a smaller one?

If the smaller mass is more dense, like a spoon lifting an inflated balloon. Or if the smaller mass has more electromagnetic properties then the larger one, like a small magnet being able to lift a pile of nails.


Why Does a netball bounce higher than a basketball?

I have not actually tried this, but would I bet on the basketball. I am pretty sure that regulation basketball are inflated with several more pounds of pressure , and basketballs need to be able to bounce appropriately, since the dribble is an important part of the game. Volleyballs need to be soft .


How tall is a soccer ball?

Soccer balls, in their deflated form, can range from 50 feet in diameter to 60 feet. While in their inflated form, can range from 69 feet in diameter to 169 feet. Please call 1-800-824-4627 for more information on soccer balls and their counterparts.


When serving a volleyball does it go faster when it is fully inflated or slightly inflated?

Fully inflated because theres more force thats able to be produced.


Why does it take less effort to throw a marble than a basketball?

Because the Basketball weighs more than the marble ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Most regular size, glass marbles weigh less about 0.16 ounces. A basketball weight about 22 ounces. When you throw something you have to accelerate its weight (mass) out of your hand, and a property of matter called "inertia" resists you. The size of the inertial resistance is directly dependent on the mass of the object, the bigger the inertia (mass) the bigger the resistance. Because of this it takes more effort (energy) to accelerate the heavier basketball compared to the lighter marble.


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.


Which balloon has more rubber?

The simple answer is the bigger the balloon, the more rubber it will have. However, the actual amount of rubber is determined by its thickness. Thus a large but thin balloon can easily have less rubber than a smaller thicker balloon. Assuming all rubber balloons are made from the same chemical composition, you can determine which has the most rubber simply by weighing them while they are completely deflated. Alternatively, immerse the deflated balloons in water to determine their mass (by the amount of displacement).
