1. A wooden block rests on a wooden table. You push the block to the right; while you are pushing it, you notice the block slows down. Answer the following questions about the block's motion while you are pushing it. a. Draw a force diagram for the block in the space to the right. (For each force that affects the block, draw an arrow showing which way that force pushes the block.) For now, only include the horizontal forces on the block. For each force/push, name the object that is pushing on the block. Also, list the type for each force. b. Is the block in equilibrium? Explain. c. What direction does the velocity of the block point? Explain.
