Law Incorporation [45]3 years ago

The book falling to the floor is described by Newton's second law and Newton's third law

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that:

"An object moving at constant velocity (or at rest) keeps moving at constant velocity (or will stay at rest) unless acted upon unbalanced, external forces"

For a book falling to the floor, there is an unbalanced force acting on it (the  force of gravity): therefore, we cannot apply Newton's first law.

Newton's second law of motion states that:

"The net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the object's mass, m, and its acceleration, a"

Mathematically:

F=ma

For the book falling to the floor, F is the force of gravity; therefore, we can apply Newton's second law, and in this case it tells us that the book has a non-zero acceleration during its fall.

In particular, the force of gravity is F=mg (where g is the acceleration due to gravity), so the acceleration of the book is

mg=ma\\a=g=9.8 m/s^2

Newton's third law of motion states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (action force) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite  force (reaction force) on object A".

In this case, the Earth is exerting a  force (the force of gravity) on the book during its fall: therefore, the book is also exerting a equal and opposite force (reaction force) on the Earth.

Do any of the galaxies appear to be closer to each other as your universe expands? What does this say about the possibility of g
Luda [366]

Explanation:

In local galactic group the force of expansion of universe is overcome by the force of attraction due  to gravity. Best example is our own galaxy milky way and another giant galaxy in our local group Andromeda. Andromeda having enormous gravity is pulling milky way towards itself, overcoming the force of expansion.

So, there  are possibilities of collision despite the expansion of universe at a rapid pace. It is estimated that the milky way and Andromeda will collide each other after about 50 billion years from now.
