Describe the social and intellectual climate of theseventeen century in Europe in the context of science and philosophy.Ģ. Give two examples which illustrate Newton's thirdlaw of motion. a rubber ball is thrown and bounces off a concrete wall 18. a rock is spun rapidly at the end of a stringĢ. Use the Action/Reaction law to describe the forces actingin each of the following cases 1. What is the reading on a scale which is being pulled onby two 5 Newton forces in opposite directions? Explain.ġ7. What is the difference between centripetal and centrifugalforce?ġ6. Rather than falling to the floor and breaking they remainon the table.
