The force with which I push down on the Earth is PRECISELY equal to the force with which the Earth pushes UP on me.  

I weigh EXACTLY the same amount on the Earth as the Earth weighs on me.  Find THAT amount, and you'll have the answer to the question.

(Hint:  1 kg is a mass, and 2 pounds is a force, so they can never be equal.  1kg weighs about 2.2 pounds IF it happens to be on Earth.  But if the same 1kg is on the Moon, then it weighs about 5.8 ounces.  And if it happens to be on Mars, then it weighs about 13.3 ounces.  The same kilogram weighs different weights in different places.)

On a good day, I push down on the Earth with about 890 Newtons of force.  No matter how hard I try, I can never push more or less than that.

Answer: 100lbs

Explanation: The Earth pushes you down at 100lbs, so you push down the earth by 100lbs which is enough to keep you firmly attached to the ground and not allow you to jump more than a couple of feet.

12. your friend with great excitement tells you about his newest idea to solve the energy crisis: he wants to use an electromoto
mixas84 [53]
I would tell him, in the kindest, most gentle way I could manage,
to fahgeddaboudit. 

The total amount of energy doesn't change.  Energy is never created,
and it never disappears.  If you have some energy, then it had to come
from somewhere, and if you used some energy, then it had to go
somewhere. 

You can never get more energy out of the electromotor than you put into it,
 and in the real world, you can't even get THAT much out, because some
of it is always used on the way through.

Pour yourself a cold glass of soda, then look up "Perpetual Motion" or
"Free Energy" on the internet, relax, and enjoy the show.  They are all
fakes.  They may not all be intentionally meant to fool you, but they are
all impossible.
