Shedding light on motion. Newton's third law. Episode 8
Description
In Newton's Third Law, we look at that most poetic of all Laws: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. How does a rocket engine work? Why do guns recoil when they're fired? How do our muscles work? What propels us when we're swimming? And how exactly is gravity a two-way interaction? All these questions, and many more, will be answered in this excellent program.
