‘For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction’
When a balloon is inflated plus released with no tying the inlet, the balloon flies all above the place as the air is released. The balloon and the air flowing out of the balloon travel in opposite directions. The Third Law of Motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This information can be used to create a balloon pinwheel.

Tape the inlet of the balloon around the straw at the end opposite the flexible joint of the straw. Make sure that the seal is airtight so that the straw can be used to inflate the balloon. Inflate the balloon by blowing through the straw, and once inflated pinch off the straw near the balloon inlet. Push the pin through the straw about an inch and a half from the balloon inlet. Push the pin into the eraser end of the pencil, but leave room for the straw to twirl around freely. Hold the pencil and release the opening of the balloon. Re-inflate the balloon and experiment with different straw angles and balloon sizes to make the pinwheel spin well.
The equal and opposite action and reaction in this experiment were the balloon’s motion and the motion of the air. The air forced out of the balloon caused the balloon to react in the opposite direction. Since the balloon was attached to the straw as a pinwheel, this motion resulted in a circular path. When two actions like this fit the Third Law of Motion, they are called a Third Law pair, and in this experiment the motion of the balloon and the motion of the air are the actions that make up the Third Law pair.

    When the gas rushes out of the balloon's mouth it moves forward which starts a movement called thrust. Thrust requires both energy and direction. When the air moves out in one direction from the balloon, it flies in the opposite direction. This is an example to Newton's third law of motion, "To every action there is an equal opposite reaction." The characteristics to explain that an Action Force results in a Reaction Force are that the two forces should be equal in magnitude. The two forces are in opposite directions. The action force is applied to an object and reaction force is applied to something else. For example, a closed balloon shows all the forces are equal in magnitude, the gas inside the balloon. The two forces in the opposite direction…

    This video shows the experiment done using a balloon. After setting the paper on fire with the matchsticks, the oxygen in the bottle was used up. When the balloon was placed on top of the bottle, the air inside created a vacuum sucking the balloon in on its own. it is shown that burning paper heats the air trapped inside the bottle which caused the heat to expand. After around 10-20 seconds, the flame/fire inside the bottle died, causing the air trapped inside to cool. This resulted in lower forces inside the bottle, leaving the outside with more force. The balloon is then pushed into the bottle due to the fact that there was lower pressure in the bottle and greater pressure outside the…

    Rationale: In this experiment, the challenge is to build a balloon powered car from homemade materials that can travel at least 8 meters. According to Newton’s Third law, it is possible to accomplish this objective. Force is any push or pulls and can be measured in newtons. The first law states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an opposing force. It also says that if an object is in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Also, during research it was found that Newton 's 2nd law states that an object 's acceleration depends on the mass of the object and the force acted upon it. This law is expressed in the equation, F (force) = M (mass)*A (acceleration). The third law explains that when an object exerts force on another object that object exerts force back. The objects would equal each other in magnitude but go the opposite direction.…
