Question

a balloon is inflated and then released as shown below. when the balloon is released, air is pushed out by the balloon. which other force is acting that demonstrates newtons third of motion? a. the air is pushing back on the balloon in the same direction. b. the weight of the balloon pushes it in the opposite direction. c. the air is pushing back on the balloon in the opposite direction. d. gravity is helping to move the balloon in the same direction.

Explanation:

Newton's third - law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the balloon pushes air out (action), the air pushes back on the balloon (reaction) in the opposite direction.

Answer:

C. The air is pushing back on the balloon in the opposite direction.
