This lecture explores a balloon experiment inside a moving cart filled with air to demonstrate the dynamics of fluid flow. By analyzing the behavior of the balloon when the cart accelerates and decelerates, the instructor explains the concept of air drag and the equilibrium between the air inside the cart and the external air. The demonstration highlights how changes in conditions inside the cart affect the movement of the air and, consequently, the behavior of the balloon.
