There are constant pressure processes.
There are coin sorters in vending machines.
Mega-newtons exert themselves by wires on large halo objects.
Weakly interacting large particles.
The first step in physics problem solving is to read the text of the problem and come up with a numerical answer.
It is difficult to translate the words and equations into each other. One way to address this is to represent physical processes in ways that are less abstract. Concrete representations help you visualize a problem. The representations are used to bridge the words and equations. The multiple representation approach to problem solving is an approach that you will learn to use as you progress through the book.
The car's speed goes down.
A person is falling.
A human cannonball is launched.
