Big balloon is 20 g. << Two basketballs, each is 600 g.
They are moving. When you catch them, the speed is v, mass*v affect your hands.
The mass of a large balloon is , Weight of balloon is 20 g.
Two basketballs. The mass is, ,
,
Therefore, we feel almost the same or more m-v attack in the big balloon than two basketballs.
