Draw a large dot on your large sheet of paper to represent the block. Draw vectors with their “tails” on the dot to show the forces exerted on the block. Label each vector and write a brief description of that force next to the vector.
In Newtonian physics, all forces are considered as arising from an interaction between two objects. Forces are specified by identifying the object on which the force is exerted and the object that is exerting the force. For example, in the situation above, a gravitational force is exerted on the block by the Earth.

- Lab 8 Part 3 PHET Wave Interface simulation. I am having trouble with this part of the lab.arrow_forwardMick and Rick are twins born on Earth in the year 2175. Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes. How old is Rick when his brother dies?arrow_forwardHi, I have canceled, why did you charge me again?arrow_forward
