A car is moving with a uniform speed on a level road. Inside the car there is a balloon filled with helium and attached to a piece of string tied to the floor. The string is observed to be vertical. The car now takes a left turn maintaining the speed on the level road. The balloon in the car will

• A. Continue to remain vertical
• B. Burst while taking the curve
• C. Be thrown to the right side
• D. Be thrown to the left side

Answer 1

The correct option is D Be thrown to the left side

Air outside the balloon is heavier so it will have more tendency to move towards right and will keep the balloon towards left side (Here in this question car is supposed to be air tight).
