A washing machine dryer entirely works upon the principle of the law of inertia.

To dry the clothes, the drum of the


washing machine dryer is subjected to motion, which further causes the clothes to move; however, the water
molecules contained in the cloth do not follow the motion and stay at their position of rest. Due to the
gravitational pull of the earth, the water gets collected at the base of the drum. The holes of the drum let the
water out, leaving the clothes dry.

pushing a supermarket cart with twice as


much force produces twice as much
acceleration.
When swim or move in a roving boat, you have
to push the water backward in order to move
forward. The generated in the backward
direction gives an and opposite reaction in the
forward direction. The more you push back the
more you move forwards.

While we walk we apply a force in the


backward direction, and in response, the
friction provides an equal and opposite force
which helps us to move forward. In essence, if
there was no friction then we could not walk.

necessary evil to know more about this
