| Physics is everywhere. Most physics is a result from one of the Newton’s Laws. Specifically, Newton’s 3rd Law, it states that whenever an object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal but opposite in direction force back on the first object. This can be related to some of the simplest things. For example one action is walking, standing, or sitting. People use this law everyday and don’t even know it. So here is an opportunity to learn and understand some everyday physics. |
