High School Does a lever/fulcrum reaction demonstrate Newton 3rd Law?
Say a lever is tilted on a fulcrum with an object on the side in contact with the floor, a mass falls onto the other side, causing the object to go flying. Does this demonstrate Action-reaction ? (action on the lever to action on the object)- jimmypantspants

Undergrad Is it possible for a person in motion to fall over a ledge?
What are the physics behind falling over a railing? As in someone running into a balcony railing and falling up and over?- jimmypantspants

Well approximately that, because i saw that the center of mass of a male is 58% up his body- jimmypantspants

Undergrad Is it possible for a person in motion to fall over a ledge?
Ok thank you! Is there any way I could do so without physically recreating it? A physics simulation? A bit of a stretch hahaha but I don't know what else.- jimmypantspants

Thanks for the reply! Is there any proof I could use in an official debate? A law or theory ...?- jimmypantspants

Undergrad Is it possible for a person in motion to fall over a ledge?
The facts are that the person is 183cm, 82kg, meaning his center of gravity is about at 105cm, he was running towards a railing of a balcony that is 108cm high, and allegedly hit the railing then fell over. Is this physically possible?- jimmypantspants

Conclusion for seeing the infinitely small
I need to write a conclusion for a presentation I'm doing on "Seeing the infinitely small" (translation from french), which is basically about microscopes and the LHC, how to observe the different levels of small and all that... What can I write to answer, "why are we trying to observe the...- jimmypantspants
