Best Film on Newton's Third Law. Ever.

  • There is a gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the moon, but is it mutual? That is, are the forces on the Earth and the moon equal? Most people would say no, the Earth exerts a greater force of attraction because it is larger and has more mass. This is a situation in which Newton's Third Law is relevant. Newton's Third Law says that for every force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force. So the force the Earth exerts on the moon must be exactly equal and opposite the force the moon exerts on the Earth. But how can that be - that the same size force keeps the moon orbiting, but barely affects the Earth? The answer is inertia - the tendency for all objects with mass to maintain their state of motion. Since the Earth has much more mass than the moon, it has greater inertia and therefore experiences much less acceleration for the same amount of force.

      well for most simple physics where you assume everything is a particle and work with at most two dimensions, newtonian physics is more than enough, even in some profession relativity is irrelevant because, while an oversimplification of the natural world, newtonian physics still accurately desribe most of our day-to-day lives.

      Postermaestro I'm not a scientist tho i really don't understand the newton's law calculating who is attracting who really...... object A attracts object B, what happens? they get closer right? so isn't the gravity force the combined attraction of A and B? i mean we are in space talking about planets and so who's the static parameter: if i pull someone, if i'm heavier, that someone will get moved toward me, or instead i'll be pulled to that person. That notion is only mesurable since we have the static ground to compare who moved toward who, if you remove the ground, we just get closer and on that no matter who pulled harder since the link between us it the pulling force that was enough to counter our combined inertia... or i just didn't got it ^^'

      Jack Jack if you and a friend were sitting in separate rafts floating in water holding opposite end of a rope and pulled the rope, you would both move and meet near the middle of where you started. If ten people joined your friends and you pulled the rope, you would move more than them but they would move toward you a some.
      In all cases, the tension on both ends of the rope would be equal. You are pulling with the same force that you are being pulled.

    • @danielelunardi1651
      @danielelunardi1651 Před 9 lety +3

      Mark Daniel indeed and in that case: what would happen if they (10) were just holding the rope and not pulling and i was pulling it alone? it will for sure result of me getting closer to their spot but they would also move but all of that in slow rate, what i'm trying to poit at is: How could you say the pulling force is from who or who? the generator of that force is a separate thing from the pulling force appliance itself cause if i genenrate 50% of it and the 10 guys in front would each generate 5% it would result 100% for all of us so for my understanding the pulling force applied is one single pulling force applied equaly to 2 masses.
      Another question is: As we know a chopper can't move faster than his fan's rolling speed, if it goes 10km/h while it's fan at the edge rotates at 10km/h as well, means one side will travel 20km (opposing wind from speed 10km/h + it's own speed 10km/h) and other will stay static 0km/h (10km/h from moving speed - 10km/h of own backward movement) so now that we are aware that moving around an already moving corp creates such variations, how does the moon follows earth while at a point the inertia of both is down while moon crossing earth's path from front and increased while the moon is crossing from behind? there is more than just gravity and it's not only pulling, i'm wondering if the gravity stream itself can kind of stretch and retract without loosing any force or if the loss from one move isn't increasing another field we don't know yet wich will bend those 2 masses to an almost regular distance, since we can keep track of both earth and moon's paths, i see it more as 2 corps bound to an elastic rope.

      Yeah I'll grant him that because he still has this innocent curiousity when he tries these things plus I don't feel duped because he gives me a lot back by shamelessly grabbing my attention like that so it's a double win (and it feels more like a running gag by now actually).
      And last but not least, his honest intend.
      You just know that he doesn't do that to grab money, he really does this to spread his enthusiasm for science, to enrich others and not just himself. So it makes me chuckle how this overambitious squirrel is now hacking itself through every of his videos to spread the love. It's contagious.
      And it also puts the true clickbaiter to shame as he beats them in their own game which forces them to become better or fade into unimportance again. It's just perfect on so many levels.

The first Khan Academy video on N3 even had this wrong, and 10 years later that video is still up. And everybody argued fiercely with me when I tried to explain that the video was wrong.

    I'd love to see you interview some engineering and science first year students from college about this.
    In India, people choose to become engineers and doctors because of the cred and money it earns them (and also due to lots of parental pressure) and not because they really love the field they're a part of and it's very common to see such mistakes happening there among engineering students as well unless, ofc, they memorised a question that relates to the exact same problem

      ***** I think we are saying the same thing. In your earlier comment, you said that the atom accelerates a lot. I took that to mean like a lot compared to the rate other objects near Earth accelerate. You meant a lot compared to Earth, and the forces you are referring to are the forces on the Earth and the atom. Yes, those forces are the same. I thought you meant the force on the atom was the same as the force on other object from the Earth. Just a misunderstanding.

    If you put a rubber band (or a piece of elastic chord or whatever) around two objects, the pull towards each other is obviously equal. If the objects are the same mass (two identical marbles) they'll move towards each other at the same speed. If you have one huge marble and one smaller one, the bigger one will still move but slower than the smaller one, because of inertia.
    A neat way to visualize the concept of gravity and Newton's 3rd law.
