Read the following sentences carefully, and choose the correct one:

The continuous physical force exerted on an object by something in contact with it, is called pressure. Air is made up of tiny particles called molecules which move around quickly in all directions. The air pressure acting on the thin rubber walls of the balloon from inside causes the balloon to expand and get inflated. All the above.

Anoop appeared in class test but he confused to know the incorrect statement. Would you help him to know that?

While riding a cycle, we find that it is easier to move the bicycle forward if the wind is coming from our back side. While rowing a boat in the lake, we find it easier to row the boat forward if the wind is coming from behind us. When we are flying a kite, then the wind coming from our back side helps. If the wind blows in opposite direction to the motion of the object, it makes the movement of the object easier.
