Before you open the hole, every force pushing inside the balloon is balanced by an equal force in the opposite direction on the opposite inside surface of the balloon, so the balloon goes nowhere. Open the vent, and suddenly there is an imbalance because there is still pressure on the inside wall opposite the vent, and the ballon accelerates in that direction. All rocket engines work that way: continuous supply of pressure, with one end of the chamber open.

When a balloon is blown up and the released where are the forces of action and reaction acting?

When a balloon is blown up and released, the action force is the air rushing out of the balloon, pushing the balloon forward. The reaction force is the balloon moving in the opposite direction due to Newton's third law of motion.


What does action and reaction forces mean in physics?

Action and reaction forces refer to Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object applies a force on another object, the second object will exert an equal force back onto the first object. These forces act on different objects and not on the same object.


Which is an example of action and reaction forces?
