Animals and laws of motion. Artwork showing examples of three types of animal motion,all of which can be explained by Newton's laws of motion,particularly the third: 'every action has an equal and opposite reaction'. This explains a bird flying through the air (top),a pond skater moving across the surface of the water (middle),and a fish moving through water (bottom). In each case,the animal is pushing against a medium (air,surface tension,and water). The resulting forces are called action and reaction forces (blue and white arrows) | |
