I had no clue where to put this, and since this is very elementary and was covered during the beginning of my physics class, I chose here.
I basically have some problems accepting some of the significant figure rules.
One problem which makes no sense:
If say 202 is divided by 356...
Wow.
Talk about seeing the light.
Thank you so much for that. I totally forgot that an object can exert gravity on the Earth as well. This was creating an entire host of problems for me, mismatched forces and a bunch of other crazy ideas.
Thanks for the truth Doc.
For the sake of the questions, I am going to ask them in regards to the gravity of the earth.
When gravity pulls down on a certain body, and that body interacts with the ground, a third law force pair is made and the body pushes down on the Earth with the same force that gravity pulled it...
You see, if you plot your vector on a cartesian coordinate system, with the appropriate angle (30 degrees), you can turn it into a right triangle. Simply use the x-axis as the bottom of your triangle, and the y-axis as the side of it.
In terms of trig, your x-axis is your adjacent side, and...
Thanks for the response.
So the friction (the floor) exerts its force on the crate, in response the crate exerts its reciprocal force on the floor but due to it's immense mass it's neglible?
My question is in regards to the forces of friction.
Following Newton's Third Law, every force should elicit another force.
If I were to let's say push a crate, I would exert a force upon the crate. Therefore the crate would exert a force upon me.
If the reason I have to apply force...
