Description

In this game, you control a King who wakes up to find out that a mischievous Jester is besieging his castle by throwing boulders at it, just for fun. It’s up to you to prevent this mischievous character from knocking down the wall that protects the castle! To do this, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with Newton’s laws of motion to understand and predict the movement of objects under the influence of forces. Can you rise to the challenge and defend your kingdom?

Main Concepts

A force is a vector quantity with magnitude and direction.
When two objects are in direct contact, they exert a contact force on one another.
Newton's Third Law states that if object A exerts a force on object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.
Action-reaction forces do not balance each other out because they act on different objects.
Action-reaction forces can be observed in many common applications.
A force is a push or pull on an object.(MS)
