B at rest

A accelerating

Correct, the balloon goes in the opposite direction of the force when accelerating.

If truck A is accelerating then its going to crash into truck B. 😅

Truck C is experiencing negative acceleration.

It is accelerating in reverse

Going forward or reverse acceleration?

I meant to add forward acceleration.

B is falling

It's stationary. But could be falling. Good answer.

A is doing forwards flips ; C is doing backwards flips.

This is the 💯 correct answer.

They're all accelerating but B is at rest

Correct, A acceleration forward, C acceleration backwards.

🤔

He's probably refering to the counterintuitive "helium balloon in a truck"- riddle.

A is accelerating. B is at rest or at steady speed. C is reversing or braking.

b for both

B is at rest. A is accelerating forwards. C Accelerating backwards.

Helium Balloons 🎈 in a regular truck surrounded by air. Good luck 🤞

Rest: B

Accelerating: C

Braking: A

See it as the inertia of the surrounding air is higher than the inertia of the helium due to its lower density.

That means when accelerating (forward) the air is flowing "backwards" faster than the helium.

Important to note is that the air is in a container. Helium is less dense than the air, so buoyancy follows the direction of the force. So C would be acceleration forward. If it was something more dense than air, it would be A acceleration forward as there would always be displacement with acceleration.
