Yeah lol. Ok so now I have a question for you. If a balloon is in the back of a covered trunk, no air influence from the outside, and the truck turns left, which way does the balloon go? It’s tied to a string inside the trunk.

You didn’t specify what the balloon is filled with. If it is less dense than air: to the left as the air is pushed to the right pushing the less dense balloon to the left. If the balloon is filled with something denser than air: to the right as it pushes air out of its way.

that's more of a trick question than anything.
