This table is a table where little people live.The little people run around inside the table and are not aware of your presence.However, when you place your hand or other objects on the table, the little people notice them and jump onto them.Depending on the shape of the object, the little people can slide, jump, and climb.Placing many objects allows the little people to have even more fun.

About the Work

The Three Laws of Motion

An introduction to the three laws governing the motion of objects.

Law of Inertia

An object tends to remain in its current state unless acted on by an external force.

For example, when a stationary train suddenly starts moving, your body tends to remain at rest, so you feel pulled backward. When a moving train stops suddenly, your body tends to keep moving forward.

Law of Acceleration

An external force changes an object’s motion in the direction of that force. The amount of change depends on the force and the object’s mass. A heavier object takes more force to push; with the same force, a lighter ball travels farther.

Action and Reaction

For every action on an object, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you push a wall, the wall pushes back with the same magnitude of force.
