Anomalous data: Balloon in car: Testing Experiment
Aim
Test of model of pressure in gases and Newton's laws
Prior Knowledge
Force and Newton's laws
Non-inertial reference frames
Air pressure
Description of the Experiment
A perspex "car" with air inside at atmospheric pressure is given a sudden push. Based on your model of air pressure and Newton's laws, predict what will happen to the balloon inside the car. Make a prediction for the balloon's movement relative to the car.
