Johnny comes home from a birthday party with a new red balloon. He notices that whenever he places the balloon on the table it moves because a fan is blowing on it. Johnny is afraid that the balloon will pop if it hits the floor so he turns off the fan; which causes the balloon to remain still. What is the most likely reason the balloon no longer moves?

• No forces are acting on the balloon once the fan is turned off.

• The forces acting on the balloon are now balanced so no movement occurs.

• Unbalanced forces keep the balloon from moving.

• The balloon no longer moves because there are fans blowing in both directions.
