The human arm can be modeled as follows. the object of interest should be the bones in the lower arm (forearm) and hand (considered a beam). it interacts with an object held in your hand, with the biceps muscle, with the bone in the upper arm at its joint with the forearm, and with the earth. use the following steps to build the apparatus for the arm: a) draw a labeled sketch of your proposed system. b) construct a free-body diagram for this “beam”. you will have to decide what forces to include, and where they are applied by carefully considering the other objects interacting with the beam. hint: hold a heavy object in your hand, with your lower arm horizontal. feel different parts of your arm to decide what objects interact with the arm. c) list the equipment you will use to model the beam, the bicep muscle, and the elbow joint. d) determine the biceps tension when holding an object in the hand. to do this, develop a mathematical procedure that involves the conditions of equilibrium. use the procedure to make a prediction for the biceps tension. e) list the assumptions regarding objects, interactions and processes in your procedure and design. how could they affect the result? f) what are the possible sources of experimental uncertainty? how can you minimize them? g) build the apparatus, and note the reading on the “biceps” scale. h) compare your predicted biceps tension with the measured reading. i) decide whether your design was successful. explain your judgment.

Imagine you are riding on a yacht in the ocean and traveling at 20 mph. you then hit a golf ball at 100 mph from the deck of the yacht. you see the ball move away from you at 100mph, while a person standing on a near by beach would observe your golf ball traveling at 120 mph (20 mph + 100 mph). now imagine you are aboard the hermes spacecraft traveling at 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) past mars and shine a laser from the front of the ship. you would see the light traveling at c (the speed of light) away from your ship. according to einstein’s special relativity, how fast will a person on mars observe the light to be traveling? a) 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) b) c (the speed of light) c)1.1c (c+0.1c)

James is trying to prove newton's 2nd law of motion. he tries to move four different objects with different masses, shapes, and sizes from point a to point b. the objects are a toy car, a car, a refrigerator, and a kitchen table. after some experimentation, he finds that force is dependent on the mass of the object, rather than it's size or shape. the object that takes the most force to move is the
