The picture above shows a girl holding a balloon above her head. The balloon is lifting her hair because it has been charged with static electricity. The balloon is pulling upward on her hair, and that force is half of a third law pair of forces. Which of the following is the other half of that third law pair? Her hands hold up the balloon. Her hair pulls down on the balloon. O The Earth (via gravity) pulls down on the balloon. O The Earth (via gravity) pulls down on her hair.
