Persian Islamic polymath Ibn Sīnā published his theory of motion in The Book of Healing. He said that a force is imparted to a projectile by the thrower, and viewed it as persistent, requiring external forces such as air resistance to dissipate it. Which of Newton's Laws does this describe?
1st

Rose
What device used every day in physics class never has mechanical error?
A donkey pulls a crate up a rough, inclined plane at constant speed. Which one of the following statements concerning this situation is false?
a) The work done by gravity is increasing.
b) The net work done by all the forces acting on the crate is zero joules.
c) The work done on the crate by the normal force of the plane is zero joules.
d) The donkey does "positive" work in pulling the crate up the incline.
e) The work done on the object by gravity is zero joules.
E - work done by gravity is not zero
Is it easier to move a car/box from rest or once it is already in motion and why?
