Imagine you are on a bus with a helium balloon tied on a string tied to the seat in front
of you. The bus stops short to avoid running
over a rabbit and you are thrown forward.
What happens to the balloon in relation to
the bus?

A child sits in a car at a traffic light holding a helium-filled balloon. The windows are
up and the car is relatively airtight. When
the light turn green and the car accelerates
forward, her head pitches backward but the
balloon pitches forward.
Which of the following explains why correctly?

2. The balloons position does not change.


3. The balloon moves backward.
4. The balloon pops.

Youre driving in a convertible car with the
top up and the windows closed. You note that
the fabric top puffs up.

You are hovering at low altitude in a hotair balloon, neither accelerating upward nor
downward. The total weight of the balloon
(including its load) is 10,000 N.
Which of the following is correct?
1. The balloon displaces 10,000 liters of air.
2. The air displaced by the balloon weighs
10,000 liters times the density of air.
3. The volume of the displaced air is 10,000
cubic meters.
4. The balloon displaces no air, because air
is not a liquid.
5. The air displaced by the balloon weighs
10,000 N.

1. When the car accelerates forward, the


girls head tends to stay where it was and
pitches backwards. But the balloon is pushed
forward by the air inside of the car that is
accelerating with the car.
2. Buoyant forces act on both the girls head
and the balloon, but they act in opposite
directions.
3. The girls head is much denser than the
balloon, so it reacts more severely to the acceleration.
4. The law of inertia acts on both the girls
head and the balloon, but in opposite directions.
5. Inertia acts on the girls head but a pressure difference acts on the balloon.
