Newtonian Cookies

Newtonian Cookies are the result of applying the fundamental laws of motion and gravity to the art of cookie production. They are the perfect treat for those who appreciate the intersection of science and snack.

The Laws

Newton's First Law of Cookie Motion: A cookie at rest will remain at rest.
Newton's Second Law of Cookie Motion: The acceleration of a cookie is directly proportional to the force applied.
Newton's Third Law of Cookie Motion: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, unless it's a cookie, then it just breaks apart.

Experiments

The Cookie Catapult Experiment: How far can a cookie travel when dropped from a great height?
The Cookie Friction Experiment: How much force does it take to make a cookie stick to a surface?
The Cookie Gravity Experiment: Does a cookie really fall down, or does it just look like it?
