Newton

Sir Isaac Newton was born on Christmas day of 1642, in Woolsthorpe, England. As a lad, Newton showed extraordinary signs of intelligence. He was always reading books to expand his knowledge. He studied for five years at the University of Cambridge, and with the help of a common red fruit and Galileo; Sir Isaac formulated the three fundamental laws of motion. All of the following examples neglect friction and air resistance.

Newton’s first law of motion is the law of inertia, which states that a body at rest or motion tends to stay at rest or motion. Suppose a car, going 30 M.P.H., hits a pole. The driver would be ejected out the windshield, because his body would want to stay in motion. If that same car were to take a turn to quickly and loose traction, it would continue in the same direction it was going. Before this guy did all the stupid stuff I just said, he set a mug of coffee on the top of his car, while he put air in his tires at the air pump. He then got in his car and drove away, forgetting about the mug. When he finally realized he forgot it, he pulled over to get it, but it was gone.


Newton’s third law of motion is the law of action and reaction. Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object. There is a brick on the table. A force of 10 N is pulling down the brick, and the table is pushing up on the brick with a force of 10 N; the brick stays at a state of equilibrium. The reason that the table can hold the brick is the molecular springs of the atoms in the table; they act as springs to push the brick up. If I punch a wall, the action force is me exerting a force on the wall, and the reaction force is the wall exerting a force on me. If I pull on a rope, attached to a wall, with a force of 40 N, the wall is pulling back on me with a force of 40 N. The tension on the rope is also 40 N. I tied a fully automatic assault rifle to a clothes line (for fun) and put the barrel of the gun against a brick wall. I held the trigger with a clip and it shot all the way down the line. It did not move because the bullets pushed of the wall. It moved because the bullets pushed it, and the gun pushed the bullets
