The illustration contains the three laws of motion, all demonstrated
with utter elephanty cuteness:
-
The boulder refuses to budge. Around it are
the words: "Every body perseveres in its state of being
at rest or of moving uniformly straight forward except insofar
as it is compelled to change its state by force."
In other words, stuff that's not moving won't move unless
something moves it. Stuff that is moving won't stop unless
something stops it. Weird to think that people used to really
not know that, right?
-
Over the elephant are the words Force = Mass
x Acceleration. In other words, the strength of a force depends
on how big and fast the thing that's applying the force is.
-
Where the elephant is bracing himself against
the ground are the words: "All forces occur in pairs,
and these two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in
direction"
So when you apply force to something, you get an equal and
opposite force right back at ya.
