NYC friction

While in our hotel in NYC, my little sister decided to jump on the glass coffee table. Not a smart idea. Unfortunatley, her force was greater than the force of the table and she ended up going through it. Although the table created a force back on her, her force was greater, which the table could no longer hold, which is why the table broke. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Ouch! Bad choice on your sisters part! That must have hurt! (Sorry, I don't know her name!)

That table put just as much force on your sister as she did on the table!;)
