Quillon and Izara are standing in front of a mirror. Izara is holding a helium-filled balloon with a string and she lets it go. What will Quillon see happening to the balloon in the mirror as Izara releases it? Provide a very brief response.
In the mirror, Quillon will see the balloon rise upward. Just as gravity pulls objects toward the ground, it has less of an effect on the helium balloon because helium is lighter than air, allowing the balloon to float upwards. Since a mirror reflects the scene in front of it, the balloon's movement in the mirror will mimic the actual direction in which the balloon travels in the real world--upward from Izara's hand. The balloon's reflection will appear to move away from the ground, towards the top of the mirror, just as the actual balloon does in the space in front of them.
