What happens if u put helium in a normal football?

Question

i kno its a random question but i'd like to kno hehe thanks

Answer 1

It will be lighter and it´s volume should change. And is you divide it´s mass now by it´s volume and it´s less than the density of the air it will fly (theoretically, practically it needs to be a very very large ball to fly!!!!)

Answer 2

They tested this on Mythbusters and found that ther was no difference when the ball was punted.

Answer 3

The ball will get lighter, but because of the lower mass, it will be more susceptible to air resistance and drag.

Kicking it will make it go no further than a normal football, but it will feel easier on your foot.

Answer 4

Probably just makes it feel lighter.

I doubt a football could hold enough helium to offset the weight - so it wouldn't float - but it would be lighter than an air-filled football, so maybe we could see some really spectacular long bombs or field goals.

Answer 5

the ball will get bigger

to heavy to float

Answer 6

Helium is also a very small atom and diffuses through organic material with ease.  I would not stay pressurized long.
