Question

juan inflates a balloon and then releases its end to let the balloon go free as air comes out. the balloon then flies around the room. which statement describes how this example is an application of newton’s laws of motion? \bigcirc according to newton’s first law of motion, the balloon would stay still unless a force caused it to move. \bigcirc according to newton’s third law of motion, the balloon is pushed forward as the air is forced out. \bigcirc according to newton’s third law of motion, the balloon resists any change of motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. \bigcirc according to newton’s second law of motion, the balloon exerts a force on the air, which exerts a force back on the balloon.

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When air is forced out of the balloon (action), the air exerts an equal and opposite force on the balloon, pushing it forward (reaction). The correct option matches this principle.

Answer:

B. According to Newton's third law of motion, the balloon is pushed forward as the air is forced out.
