Real life uses of Newton's Laws of Motion



Hey guys have you ever wondered about the real life uses of Laws of Motion
Well it's time to stop wondering....

First Law of Motion (Inertia): 

A body remains at rest, or moves in a straight line (at a constant velocity), unless acted upon by a net outside force.

1) Seatbelt :
How does a seatbelt follow it ????????
Read on to find out :

Have you ever noticed that on which principle does your car seat-belt work? Well, it’s again Physics. When you tighten your car seat-belt, it works on the concept of “Inertia.” Inertia is unwillingness or laziness of a body to change its state of rest or motion. In case of a car collision, your seat-belt helps prevent your body from moving in a forward direction; as your body resists being stopped because of inertia of motion. :
If one drove a car directly into a brick wall, the car would stop because of the force exerted upon it by the wall. However, the driver requires a force to stop his body from moving, such as a seatbelt, otherwise inertia will cause his body to continue moving at the original speed until his body is acted upon by some force.



2) Shake up that bottle of ketchup! When you shake that bottle, you bring the bottom down, then suddenly you stop. This is inertia and it’s the inertia which causes the ketchup to come out of the bottle.
(Yeah Mannnn !!!! Just like that )



Second Law of Motion (F = ma):

The rate of change of momentum in an object is equal/proportional to force applied

Your friend weighs less than you, but you both walk exerting the same amount of force. Your friend will go a good deal faster than you because the acceleration used by them would undoubtedly be higher. ( A few who don't know this suffer (see down) )



One of the main reasons why people constantly try to reduce the mass of objects is to be able to increase its speed and acceleration. All of the factors have an effect on each other. If something has much more mass, then exerting more force will make it move faster.


Third Law of Motion ( Action Reaction )

 For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If one body exerts force on the second body then the second body exerts equal force on the first body.


When someone swim, force given from his hand to the water results a reacting force from the water with the total force as big as his hand’s force, but in the opposite direction. So that he moveas forward even though he swing his hand backward  ( This is why even animals can swim smartly )



When we apply force backwards towards the ground the ground applies a force equal in magnitude forward helping us walk

Our hand feels pain when we hit the table because the table gives force as a reaction to our hand



That's it for today guys will be back with Higgs Boson tomorrow 
Till then Bye

Antimatter - The Long Lost Cousin of Matter

A beautiful quote by Paul Dirac Many of you physics lovers would have figured out what I am gonna talk about Yes, The contrary to matter - Antimattter So now let's have a brief insight about it Antimatter: Classical physics only allowed systems to have positive energy. But Dirac’s new theory of relativistic quantum mechanics allowed for a particle with negative energy solution, as a counterpart to the familiar positive-energy electron. After ruling out the possibility that this particle was simply the proton – which has a hugely greater mass – Dirac predicted the existence of a new particle with the same mass of the electron but with a charge that was positive rather than negative. It’s now understood that all particles have an equivalent antimatter particle with opposite charge and quantum spin – although some are their own antiparticle. However hardly any antimatter is seen in the observable universe, and why there should be vastly much more normal ma

God Doesn't Play Dice

Hello Guys and welcome back to my blog !!! Today we are going to talk about a huge controversy on Science during 1920s...   Albert Einstein   is one of the greatest and certainly best known physicists. If you ask anyone to name a physicist the most common answer you will receive is “Einstein”. Einstein is also famous for his quotations. Among the many Einstein’s quotations one is particularly popular among the general public: “God does not play dice”. But what did Einstein mean by this? The quotation says, “Quantum theory yields much, but it hardly brings us close to the Old One’s secrets. I, in any case, am convinced He does not play dice with the universe.” It was addressed by Einstein to Max Born (one of the fathers of Quantum Mechanics) in a letter that he wrote to Born in 1926. The “Old one” and “He” Einstein refers to is God. The fame of this quotation stems from two sources: 1) Einstein’s disagreement with the fundamental concept of Quantum Mecha

The duo of Waves and Particles

Hello guys and welcome back to my blog Today we are going to answer a question aboout explaining particle wave duality So hold tight and off we go Particle wave duality : Publicized early in the debate about whether light was composed of particles or waves, a wave-particle dual nature soon was found to be characteristic of electrons as well. The evidence for the description of light as waves was well established at the turn of the century when the photoelectric effect introduced firm evidence of a particle nature as well. Wave-particle duality , possession by physical entities (such as  light  and  electrons ) of both wavelike and particle-like characteristics. On the basis of experimental evidence, German physicist  Albert Einstein  first showed (1905) that  light , which had been considered a form of  electromagnetic waves , must also be thought of as particle-like, localized in packets of discrete  energy . The observations of the  Compton effect  (1922) by Ameri
