Which Experiment did you do? Ballon Rocket

Balloon Rocket Questions (skip if you did the second experiment):

What do you predict will happen when we release the air from the inflated balloon attached to
the cup in the upcoming activity? The cup will rise but it won't go straight up. It will flutter
around.

How do you think the motion of the balloon rocket is related to the air escaping from the
balloon? They are the exact same.

Can you anticipate how the forces acting on the balloon and the cup are connected?
The force of the air in the balloon is trying to get out which will cause there to be a big jump of
air.

Push-Pull Experiment (skip if you did the first experiment):

How will the forces be involved in the balloon's motion?

If you were to predict the direction of the balloon's motion, what would you say?

What did you observe during your experiment? The cup went up while the air went down.

What is the 3rd Law of Newton? For every reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Quiz: Please state if the question demonstrates the first law, second law, or 3rd law of motion:

Question Area to Answer

An object at rest 1.
tends to stay at
rest, and an object
in motion tends to
stay in motion with
the same speed
and in the same
direction unless
acted upon by an
external force.
For every action, 3
there is an equal
and opposite
reaction

The acceleration of 2
an object is directly
proportional to the
net force acting
upon the object and
inversely
proportional to its
mass.
