TV for Angineers

I decided that I liked the latest "Librarian" tv movie when the very cute Noah Wylie got himself out of a jam using Newton's third law--complete with a cheer after it worked. Go Newton!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I haven't seen the Library but I totally DVRd them this weekend. Hope they're good!

Dammit, now you have me thinking "um, an object in motion tends to remain in -- no, wait, isn't that the second?" Argh!

Bill - that is the second. Good memory! Newton's third law is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this example, when Noah the librarian fires a cannon, it slides back along the floor and bangs the door open, releasing them from the dungeon where they're being held captive. :)
