With your sliced pingpong ball, You can measure the thickness of the plastic, and weigh the ball alone. I wonder if measuring buoyancy might then be useful, comparing to the weight of the same volume of water. Nice vid about being aware of our assumptions.
Thanks for watching! This is video #1 in my endeavor to make a video about every topic taught in a general chemistry course, followed by an organic chemistry course. BUT, with each video being as entertaining as I can make it. Join me on my journey?
Assumptions[?]. The air inside is composed of the same molecules and amounts as the outside air? Assuming the interior of the ball is a certain size? Assuming that it is indeed a ping pong ball/sphere ? Assuming that the pressure in the ball is the same as outside air? It would be good to verify all of this?

All great assumptions!
Scientists make assumptions like sivs.
