You're scheming because you want to play a prank on a friend who always loses their car keys. To do this, you wonder whether if you buy enough balloons, and inflate them to a volume of 0.02 meters cubed, if you'd be able to attach them to the keys (which have a mass of 20 grams) and make them float up to the ceiling. You're using Hydrogen gas, even though it is flammable, because you know that it is the lightest of the gasses you could use. Neglect the mass of the rubber the balloons is made from, but not the mass of the hydrogen that fills them
a .) Draw a free body diagram and coordinate system, and clearly write out Newton 2 for the keys
b .) What is the minimum number of balloons that you would need to result in the keys floating up to the ceiling?
