If Finley is standing upright holding a helium balloon on a string and then Finley stands on their hands to do a handstand, what happens to the helium balloon?
Provide a very brief response.
The helium balloon will continue to float upwards regardless of Finley's orientation. When Finley does a handstand, the balloon will still be above their head relative to Finley's position. This happens because the helium balloon is less dense than the surrounding air, causing it to float upwards due to buoyancy. Gravity pulls more strongly on the denser air, which displaces the helium balloon upward. Finley's change in orientation does not change the buoyant force on the helium balloon or the direction of gravity, so the balloon will continue to float towards the ceiling or sky.
