They are moving. When you catch them, the speed is v, mass*v affect your hands.

 

The mass of a large balloon is image.png, Weight of balloon is 20 g.image.png

 

Two basketballs. The mass is, image.png,image.pngimage.png

I see you take account of the pressure of the air in the basket balls.

With just (1.0) atmospheric pressure in the big balloon it will look like a weak bag.

I'm trying to imagine how it will fly through the air...
