توضح هذه التجربة أنه عند وضع جسم ما في سائل، يزيح الجسم كمية من السائل تساوي كتلتها كتلة الجسم نفسه. علاوة على ذلك، فإن حجم السائل المُزاح يساوي حجم الجزء المغمور من الجسم.

This experiment shows that, when placed in a liquid, the object displaces a quantity of liquid of mass that is equal to the mass of the object itself. Moreover, the volume of the displaced liquid is equal to the volume of the immersed part of the object.
This experiment was performed in a space shuttle where the gravity is almost zero, so the balls were not affected by any force other than the blow of the astronaut. Note that with the same blow (same force) on each ball, the lighter ball accelerates the most, while the heavier one accelerates the least, which complies with Newton’s second law.
In this video, Jackie chan and his partner found themselves in trouble facing a huge truck while each hanging from a rope. But Jackie was so clever that he found a way to rescue himself and his partner by pushing his partner (action), and as a result, he was pushed back by his partner (reaction). This way both Jackie and his partner were saved.
If this experiment is done in a situation where the net external force is zero on the loaded cannon just before and just after firing (like when the weight of the cannon is balanced with the normal reaction of the ground), then, when we calculate the product of the mass of the bullet by its velocity and the product of the mass of the cannon by its velocity just before and just after firing, we will find that before firing both were at rest so the product is zero for both, while, after firing, the two products are of the same magnitude but the velocities of the cannon and the bullet are of opposite directions.
أُجريت هذه التجربة في مكوك فضائي حيث تنعدم الجاذبية تقريبًا، لذلك لا تتأثر الكرات بأي قوة باستثناء نفخة رائد الفضاء. لاحظ أنه بنفس النفخة (نفس القوة) على كل كرة، فإن الكرة الأخف تتسارع أكثر من الكرة الأثقل، وهو ما يتوافق مع قانون نيوتن الثاني:
تشير هذه المعادلة إلى أنه إذ لم تتغير القوة الصافية على الجسم، فإن الكتلة والتسارع متناسبان عكسيا. وبعبارة أخرى، لنفس القوة الصافية، كلما زادت الكتلة، انخفض التسارع، والعكس بالعكس.
A force may have a turning effect (or twisting effect). This turning effect depends on the magnitude F of the force and the distance d from the center where the force is applied perpendicularly.
