Forces That Accelerate
Did you know that according to Newton's Third Law; for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction and for every force there is an equal and opposite force? Therefore, every time you hit something that thing is hitting you with an equal and opposite force BUT notice that when you hit things that have a significantly smaller mass than you do, that thing is obliterated, so how exactly are the forces the same if the object you hit was no more after you hit it? The answer is simple, the reason the object you hit was obliterated is because it was hit the the same force that you hit it, unfortunately the mass of the object you hit was a lot smaller than your mass AKA māke i ka mea!!!!!!
The picture above is a perfect example of forces that accelerate, although you cant really tell, the cup on the table IS ACCELERATING! It is accelerating down into the table thus putting force on the table, BUT according to Newton's Third Law, the table is supporting the cup with an equal and opposite force pushing on the cup now making it a BALANCED FORCE. We call this balanced force, the Normal force and this theory applies to any objects on a surface.
