Newton's first and second laws of motion both do, but I think the one you're looking for is: <em>The First Law of Motion</em>. That description is a little more direct.
It says that if an object is not acted on by a net external force, then it continues in "constant, uniform motion".
Answer:
Explained
Explanation:
Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall and not form surfs because of the steepness of the shorelines. Long period waves wont form surfs at steep shores because of the breaking and unstability of waves. Wave breaks at the shallow waters. The breaking of the waves depends upon H/L ratio.
I don't completely understand your drawing, although I can see that you certainly
did put a lot of effort into making it. But calculating the moment is easy, and we
can get along without the drawing.
Each separate weight has a 'moment'.
The moment of each weight is:
(the weight of it) x (its distance from the pivot/fulcrum) .
That's all there is to a 'moment'.
The lever (or the see-saw) is balanced when (the sum of all the moments
on one side) is equal to (the sum of the moments on the other side).
That's why when you're on the see-saw with a little kid, the little kid has to sit
farther away from the pivot than you do. The kid has less weight than you do,
so he needs more distance in order for his moment to be equal to yours.

experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of
