Basic Computational
A rock strikes a window with of force. How much force does that window exert on the rock?
A boy falls out of a tree and hits the ground with of force. How much force does the ground exert on the boy?
Conceptual
If you exert a force F on an object, the force which the object exerts on you will
An object of mass m sits on a flat table. The Earth pulls on the object with force mg, which is the action force. What is the reaction force?
Which of Newton's laws explains why it is easy for you to lift a 1L jug of milk from the fridge, but impossible to lift a 1000L jug?
A ball is suspended from the ceiling by means of string. The Earth pulls downward on the ball with its weight force of . If this is the action force, what is the reaction force?
