Q: How does Newton's third law hold up when a block kept on a table breaks the table?

AxSmasherSuppose there's a block of some mass that is kept on a table. But, instead of staying at rest on the table, it breaks through the table. How does Newton's third law hold up here? If the block is at rest on the table then the push of the block onto the table due to its weight and the normal force ...

Light itself moves only through space, so it doesn't move at all in time. So if a photon is 'created' in the sun (I have no idea how that works and if it even makes sen...

Q: Is spring force really a conservative force?

AnkitLet us consider this picture. $\Rightarrow$ The first picture shows the initial position of the block when the spring is in its natural length and is kept on a smooth horizontal table. $\Rightarrow$ The second figure corresponds to the situation in which the block is pulled straight on the smoot...
