Force And Motion (A Reel,1940s, silent)

This silent footage describes a 1940s scenario in which a young man is learning how to extract rocks from a quarry with the help of an older man. The older man teaches the young man how to use different tools and techniques to extract the rocks more effectively. There are also references to the laws of motion and physics, such as friction, air resistance, and gravity. The text also shows the men driving in a pick-up truck and having lunch in a field. The text also has some animated illustrations of a truck, fighter jet, washing machine and a man in parachute. The overall theme of the text is the application of physics concepts in everyday life.
