... (Figure 1a), the spring will apply a leftward force on the object to pull it back to the left. This leftward F on the object will give it a leftward acceleration. This leftward acceleration will make the object slow down as it moves to the right (and is to the right of equilibrium) and the object wi ...

... When we compare the length scales above, we notice that for atomic physics the nuclei are essentially point particles and thus atoms are essentially empty. This was initially shown experimentally by E. Rutherford in 1911 [25]. From a classical point of view, it is utterly unclear why the electrons a ...

Suppose a friend who hears about Newton’s third law says that you can’t move a football by kicking it because the reaction force by the kicked ball would be equal and opposite to your kicking force.
