Newton's third law of motion : For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

When the child releases the balloon, the balloon pushes the air out (due to the pressure difference inside and outside the balloon). But as the air gushes out, the balloon is also pushed the other way (this is the reaction).

Newton's third law of motion applies.It states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.As the air from inside the ballon will come out ,the balloon will go up

It can play a part in explaining observations involving all three laws. Friction is an energy loss mechanism that, if not accounted for, will cause Newton’s Laws to seem to be invalid. For example, the First Law states the objects in motion will stay in motion… unless acted on by an exterior force. Sliding a hockey puck across ice demonstrates this, but there is some friction between the puck and the ice so the puck does slow down as it slides. The Second Law states that a force applied to an object is equal to its mass times the acceleration of the object in the direction of the force. This violates common sense in the presence of friction, as anyone who has tried to slide a heavy object across a floor will testify. It’s hard enough to get it to move at a constant velocity, much less accelerate! Again, friction is responsible for the seeming discrepancy between Newton’s Second Law and real life experience. The orbital corrections applied by rockets to satellites closely follow Newton’s Second law. Newton’s Third Law, for every action (force) there is an equal and opposite reaction (force) is pretty much immune to friction effects. Indeed, friction (or the lack of it) often provides the path for the reaction. For example, a boat in the water has relatively little friction between the hull and the water when standing still. If you try to step off the boat onto shore your feet push on the boat, which then reacts by pushing back. However, this reaction force acts on the virtually frictionless boat, which moves in the opposite direction away from shore. It is not uncommon to find oneself attempting to “walk on water” when this happens. Of course if the boat is big enough, like a submarine, its inertial mass is large enough to prevent it from moving much as a result of the relatively small reaction force between your feet and the boat.

Third. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The air that is released from the balloon "pushes back" on the air that was originally there, causing the balloon to move upwards.

Oh, come on. If you can type a sentence (and yours are as good as most), you ought to know this.

For every action (ie, the blowing of air through a small opening in a balloon), there is an equal and opposite reaction (ie, the balloon flies around like a pigeon with its head cut off).

III LAW

Newton's third law: law of reciprocal actions

Lex III: Actioni contrariam semper et æqualem esse reactionem: sive corporum duorum actiones in se mutuo semper esse æquales et in partes contrarias dirigi.

All forces occur in pairs, and these two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

This law of motion is most commonly paraphrased as: "For every action force there is an equal, but opposite, reaction force."

it's been a while, every action has an equal reaction. the air pushing out of one side pushes the ballon the opposite way.

an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon an outside force. one of his laws
