how to prove that the laws of motion are wrong?
Answers
Hello Pallavi,
Thanks for A2A...
Now before I really tell you the answer, I would like to clear out a few things, first.
- I will be challenging only one part of the Law of Motion (Newton's First Law)
- The method I am going with, can be completely ridiculous. I am not that intelligent, but applying whatever I have learnt, this is the way I have found. The answer may have many mistakes. The process below is only to open the gates of new ways of thinking.
I am challenging Newton's First Law of Motion---
"If a body is at the state of rest or uniform motion, it will continue to be in its state, unless an external force acting on it, compels it to do so."
Here, I am challenging the term 'continue to be' for the state of motion'. This also means that I am supporting Aristotle's idea that the natural state of things is to be at rest.
The answer is as follows ---
If a body continues to be in its state of motion, then the distance covered or displacement is ∞.
We know,
Work = Force × Displacement.
∴Work = Force × ∞
= ∞.
Now, work is always associated with energy.
∴ Energy = ∞
So, in this simple physical process, how can energy become infinity? It breaks the law of conservation of energy ( which states that energy is finite, and cannot be created and nor be destroyed)
∴ A moment will come where the body will stop, even if no external force is applied.
The above answer is completely out of my thought, and is not to be blindly accepted true.
Any mistake in my answer can be informed in the comments below.
Thank you.
