Please describe a specific event in which building malfunction was associated with newton's law.?

Question

In your response include the event and apply newton's law to the event. THANKS!

Answer 1

kind of gruesome, given today's date, but the collapse of the towers of the World Trade Center in New York six years ago. It was Newton's law of gravity that caused the towers to fall when the plane crash and subsequent intensely hot fires, fueled by burning jet fuel, destroyed the building's support structure.

Answer 2

Twin Towers... but two other Newton laws:

A body in motion tends to stay in motion.... When the towers collapsed, they continued to collapse... they did not stop until the collapse was ended by the force of the earth's "resistance."

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction... When the towers collapsed, the "energy" from the collapse caused debris and "smoke" to scatter far and wide... to "equal" the energy that was contained within the collapsing buildings. The remaining energy was absorbed by the earth... there were siesmic readings as they collapsed, like small earthquakes. That is the earth absorbing the "opposite" energy.

Hope this helps.
