PHY 205 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Golf Cart, Sightline, Headon
Document Summary
A player hits a ball with a bat. If action is the force of the bat against the ball, reaction is the force that the ball exerts on the bat. The attraction between earth and sydney is equal to her weight. An astronaut of mass 70 kg weighs 700 n on earth"s surface. His weight on the surface of mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3. 7 m/s2, would be about. An automobile and a golf cart traveling at the same speed collide head-on. The impact force is the same for both. Arnold strongman and suzie small each pull very hard on opposite ends of a rope in a tug-of-war. The greater force on the rope is exerted by both the same, interestingly. Geometric reasoning can be used to measure distances both on earth and in space. Surveyors on earth and astronomers both use the geometric technique of triangulation to determine the distances and sizes of remote objects.
