 | If I were to sit in one of these chairs, with a force of 50 N, the chair would exert a force of 50 N back on me. | |
|
| Chairs can exert forces?? | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Any object can exert force when a force is exerted on it. Can you tell me what direction the chair exerted the force in? | |
|
| Wouldn't it be downward since you are pushing the chair into the floor? | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I exerted a downward force on the chair, but the chair exerted an upward force on me. The forces move in opposing direction. | |
|
| Okay. That makes sense. You are an excellent teacher. I now know all about Isaac Newton and three laws of motion. | |
