Hey guys.
I'm from Malaysia and I'm currently applying for the American Degree Transfer Program offered in one of the colleges here (Have been in college for only 2 days). I'm planning to major in physics but I'm having some doubts about it. Probably like most of you guys here, I'm a sucker...
I think the source of confusion is the action-at-a-distance "type" of force gravity is that is making me think that way. If the force of gravity only acts between Earth and the object studied, I guess the only way we know that there exist a normal force which is equal in magnitude is because the...
Thanks for the analysis! Clears up much of my confusion. I have a few questions though.
1) Are forces (1) and (6) third law pairs here? Can I approximate it as the center of gravity of Earth (earth is pulled by the object but because of the excessive mass does not accelerate) or does it go by...
Hi, I'm a new member here! I don't like introductory by questions, but I think this is the best place to do it. My questions concern the normal force, Something that seems intuitive at first, but the details a little unclear.
Homework Statement
I'll break down my questions into parts:
1) I'm...
