    Given:

    m = 2.0 kg, mass of the balloon and enclosed gas

    V = 5.0 m³, volume of balloon.

    Calculate the effective density of the balloon.

    ρ = m/V

    = 2/5

    = 0.4 kg/m³

    The density of air is 1.3 kg/m³, which is denser than the balloon. Therefore the balloon will rise.

    Answer: The balloon will rise because its density is less than that of air.
