Answer #1

I was passing through a thin path, where only one bicycle could easily pass. I was in a hurry, but in front of me was an old man riding slowly. So, I tried to overtake him by riding sideways on the grassy ground. At some point in the ground, the front wheel of my bicycle went a bit far inside the ground. Suddenly, the front wheel stopped. And there I was in the air, experiencing Newton's First Law of motion: "An object in motion remains in motion."

    Large objects have inertia and tend to keep moving-Newton's first law. Life is very different for small microorganisms that swim through water. For them, drag forces are so large that they instantly stop, without coasting, if they cease their swimming motion. To swim at constant speed, they must exert a constant propulsion force by rotating corkscrew-like flagella or beating hair-like cilia. The quadratic model of drag given by the equation, D⃗ = (12CρAv2, direction opposite the motion), fails for very...

    4. Newton's Third Law You will now attempt to measure the forces objects exert on each other when the objects interact and the effects those forces have on the motion of the objects. In this section, you will use both force sensors on two carts and conduct a series of force measurements during (gentle) tug-of-war tests. 4.1: Suppose you have two carts, A and B. Both are made of the same material, and B is more massive (heavier) than A....
