Okay, Class. Which of Newton’s Laws does our hapless ‘Waterparker’ demonstrate with such alacrity?
Natural selection deems that some individuals serve as a warning to others. Who are we to disagree? The next generation, ever and anon, is descended from the survivors
**WARNING** **WARNING** This is a GRAPHIC Demonstration of “Newton’s Third Law of Motion” which states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if object A (a .50 Caliber munition) explodes and exerts a force on object B (the .50 Caliber rifle), then object B will subsequently pass the axis of that force to objects D1 and D2 (Dwarf 1 and Dwarf 2). Notice how consistently the forces are exerted on the different objects.
The Third Law can be used to explain the recoil and lift a .50 Caliber Rifle generates on the two volunteers for this important SCIENTIFIC Experiment. As always, we note that no dwarves were harmed or injured during this experiment, but do to it’s graphic nature you must click the picture to view the experiment.
**Dwarf Tossing – Laws may prohibit dwarf-tossing implicitly, but there are not explicit laws preventing a consenting dwarf from being ‘tossed’.
For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.
This means that for every force there is a reaction force that is equal in size, but opposite in direction. That is to say that whenever an object pushes another object it gets pushed back in the opposite direction equally hard.
