Will a soccer ball go farther filled with helium or air?
Posted by Ethan Kingsworth in Sports Equipment & Accessories
This article looks at the difference between two types of soccer ball, one filled with helium and one filled with air. It is found that a soccer ball filled with helium will travel further than one filled with air due to the fact that helium is lighter than air and therefore has less drag. It is also found that the helium-filled soccer ball will have a higher trajectory, allowing it to travel further. The article also explains that helium-filled soccer balls are more expensive than air-filled soccer balls, however the cost of helium is decreasing, making them more cost-effective. In conclusion, a soccer ball filled with helium will travel further than one filled with air.
