The ground is particularly good at equal and opposite reactions, but we usually don’t need Newton to tell us that.
Perhaps more important are Newton’s other laws of motion. If you are sitting on the roof with your legs hanging over the gutter and you use your arms to push off so that you clear the gutter, the force of your push acts on your shoulders, above your center of gravity. This…

So why am I ditching iBlog? Wasn’t…
