    Default Ballons!

    You note that a mylar helium-filled balloon stops floating after a couple of days. You also notice that is seems to be slightly deflated.


    What could you do to the balloon to make it temporarily float in the air?

    not if it won't float anyway? it'll go up temporarily and then float back down because it is a failure of a balloon
