Can any explain the following concepts to me? I am clueless. And these are suppose to be general concepts...
-Why does a child's wagon seem to fall backaward when you give the wagon a sharp push?
-If you walk along a log floating on a lake, why does the log move in the opposite direction?
-If a stone hangs by a fine thread from the ceiling, and a section of the same thread dangles from the bottom of the stone, and someone give a sharp pull on the danging thread, where is the thread likely to break: Below or above the stone? What if the person gives a slow and steady pull?
Thanks to anyone that can help me gain a better understanding,
