Anyone can tell me what floating like a lead balloon mean? Someone made this comment today.?

You will sink, go nowhere.

Ice floating is because of water's expansion upon freezing. It lowers the density below that of liquid water, meaning it floats.

to quote any help?: "frogs work ok, as long as they are not solid"... what the hell?!? how many semi solid frogs you come across lately??? you are not any help, any help?... where you from? another oxygen thief...

congratz balloons, tell them to keep the balloons even if it's deflated, because you paid for the designs of the balloons, not the air.

Where are you going in that balloon?lol

The following link is a pdf slide show that gives examples of buoyancy calculations and theory of floating objects.\n\nhttp://www.colorado.edu/physics/phys1010/phys1010_fa05/lectures/class12-09-29.pdf

If you take a balloon under water, and go further and further, the air becomes more dense...due to PRESSURE.   The way a submarine dives is completely different then denser/less dense ....it's that they are mostly filled with air...so they should float...but they have enough weight that they sink too,  it's almost a balance, but they have tanks that they let fill with water to sink, or push air in (and water out) to get lighter and float.

There is a popular toy called a rocket balloon.  It is about 40" long and when you release it, it shoots up in the air and then winds it's way down as it slowly deflates while making a loud airplane type noise.  I've included a link to a picture below.  I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but it's what came to mind.

Helium is a lighter gas than the nitrogen/oxygen that our atmosphere is composed of, so a helium balloon will naturally float up.  It pops because the gas inside the balloon expands as the balloon rises to higher altitudes where the air pressure is lower.

floating shows that an object is less dense than water.  Think cooking oil spilled into a kitchen sink.  Does it float on top, or does it sink?\n\nLet d=density:\nd(water)=1.00\nd(oil) < 1.00, therefore it will float\n\nBut also, a chunk of iron (I believe) has a density of around 5.00 (of some unit, it's been two years since I've dealt with density questions on a regular basis.  Someone want to patch my answer for me?).  Since it is greater than that of water, it will drop like a rock to the bottom.\n\nd(lead,iron, etc.) > 1.00, therefore it will sink.

You could tie a long string or ribbon on it and let it go.  At some point, the balloon will stop rising.  Cut the string just where it touches the floor.  Neutral bouyancy achieved!

A Balloon in the Wind.  Because that's what I feel like sometimes.  Like I'm just floating from place to place, from event to event, not really effecting anything, not effected by anything.  I just exist.

A float serve is when it is served and its almost like it's floating in the air. It moves back and forth.

The object must be less dense than the fluid to float, and more dense to sink.  If it is exactly equal density, then it can be suspended.

suspended?- interesting really- isn't it?  \nhatred, confusion, misunderstanding, what else?

A balloon filled with hot air rises because of the force of buoyancy. That means the density of air inside is lesser than the surrounding air (because hot air expands thus density decreases) and thus there is an upthrust acting on the balloon. Now, if the surrounding air is at the same temperature then its density is same as that inside the balloon and so the balloon will not rise. But the balloon will not not remain at the same point. it will fall because of the weight of the rubber in it.\n    In case of exploration on other planets, firstly other planets have very low density of air in the atmosphere (most of them do not have any air) and secondly even then is one wants to use this one has to heat up the balloon to a temperature for which the density decreass lower than the surrounding. Hope this answers your question.
