Blog 6: pull


As I was looking through some pictures of a trip my family and I took to Vegas for my sister's graduation, I noticed that in this picture my mom is grabbing one of my sister's pictures on her picture lei. As she pulls the picture towards herself, the picture pulls back with an equal and opposite force. The reason that the picture accelerates a lot more than my mom is because a=F/m and since the F's are equal and my mom's m is far greater than the picture's m, her a is a lot smaller.
