Question

the students in a physics class inflated 30 identical balloons to the same size. the students placed half of the balloons in freezers at 0°f and left half of the balloons at room temperature, which was 68°f. three hours later, the students measured the sizes of the balloons. they compared the sizes of balloons kept at room temperature to the sizes of balloons kept in freezers. identify the question that the students experiment can best answer. do balloons get smaller when they are kept in freezers or at room temperature? do balloons kept in freezers have more mass than balloons kept at room temperature?

Explanation:

The experiment involves comparing balloon sizes at different temperatures (freezer at 0°F and room at 68°F). The question "Do balloons get smaller when they are kept in freezers or at room temperature?" is about the effect of temperature on balloon size, which the experiment's setup (comparing sizes after exposure to different temps) can answer. The other question about mass is not addressed by measuring size.

Answer:

Do balloons get smaller when they are kept in freezers or at room temperature?
