Let&#039;s all have fun, shall we? :D Sat, 22 Aug 2009 11:40:41 +0000 http://wordcamp.ph/2009/07/registration-is-now-online/#IDComment31567353 http://www.thedailyinquirer.net/england-supermarket-is-powered-by-shoppers-kinetic-energy/061081 #IDComment25634576 Now, now, I wasn\\\'t intending on sounding smug or flamebaiting with that comment - that was an honest opinion. :)<br /> <br /> But hey, speaking of basic physics, you\\\'re right with the fact that a car IS pulling against gravity. After all, every action has an equal and opposite reaction right? So, there actually IS a pull. BUT there also is a PUSH.<br /> <br /> The thing is, I don\\\'t think you actually *pulled* on your fingers to type in that last comment of yours. In the same manner that a car doesn\\\'t PULL on gravity to PUSH down metal plates.<br /> <br /> While there actually are two opposing forces at work here, pardon me when I say that you\\\'re wrong about which one is doing the energy we\\\'re talking about here. A car \\\"pulls itself away\\\" from gravity to keep its shape - when objects can\\\'t do that enough, that\\\'s when they get crushed by their own weight. However, the metal plates get pressed because the car is pushing on them - which is due to gravity\\\'s pull.
