"Nature and Nature's Laws lay hid in night; God said, 'Let Newton be!' - And all was light." (Pope.)
3. Law of Interaction
st 1
Law of Inertia
An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion with constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
In other words.
The seat belt provides the unbalanced force which brings you from a state of motion to a state of rest. Perhaps you could speculate what would occur when no seat belt is used.
If the truck were to abruptly stop and the straps were no longer functioning, then the ladder in motion would continue in motion.
nd 2
Law of Acceleration
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Fnet = m . a
Fnet = m . a
It accelerates in the direction that you push it. If you push twice as hard, it accelerates twice as much. If it gets twice the mass, it accelerates half as much.
Law of Interaction
In every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction
The elephant's feet push backward on the ground; the ground pushes forward on its feet. The right end of the right rope pulls leftward on the elephant's body; its body pulls rightward on the right end of the right rope. The left end of the right rope pulls rightward on the man; the man pulls leftward on the left end of the right rope. The right end of the left rope pulls leftward on the man; the man pulls rightward on the right end of the left rope. The tractor pulls leftward on the right end of the left rope; the left end of the left rope pulls rightward on the tractor. etc., etc.
Let's study how a rocket works to understand Newton's Third Law. up, up and AWAY!
