"BREAKING" NEWS

Two months ago -- October 21, 2013 -- I had an experience that was a very effective lesson in Newton's laws of motion.  Let me "walk" you through it.


1st law of motion:  I was an object in motion with a tendency to stay in motion (this is called inertia) until I came in contact with an unbalanced outside force.

TRANSLATION:   I stepped off the sidewalk near the Union Oyster House, looking to be sure there was no traffic in the road.   As I did so, I didn't see a pothole, stepped in it and fell flat on my face!    Now I was an object at rest, with a tendency to stay that way.  (This, too, is called inertia.)
 
2nd law of motion:   
         Force = mass  x  acceleration      
TRANSLATION:   I had been walking at a good clip (acceleration) and, seeing that my size is more than I would like (mass), the resultant force was considerable.

3rd law of motion:   Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
TRANSLATION:      As my right foot hit the edge of the pothole, the pothole pushed back on my foot.  My foot lost, the pothole won.  My 5th metatarsal broke.

                                                                    

It is quite a bit better now, thank you, but I'm walking with a limp.  Hopefully that will improve in time.
