3. Inertia prevents the force of the car from acting on the balloon.
The balloon has inertia, which means it resists changes in its motion. When the car starts moving forward, the air inside the car (including the balloon) also moves forward with the car due to inertia. However, the balloon's inertia causes it to resist this forward motion and remain in place. As a result, it appears to move backward relative to the car.
A balloon floats inside a stopped car. When the car starts moving forward, the balloon appears to move backward relative to the car. Which statement best explains this observation?(1 point)
Responses
1.The car moves forward, while inertia keeps the balloon in place.
2.The motion of the car creates an unbalanced backward force on the balloon.
3.Inertia prevents the force of the car from acting on the balloon.
4.The force of inertia on the balloon balances the force from the motion of the car.

that is incorrect it is actually the first answer choice.
