Today's blog is an early celebration of Halloween and homage to the forces of motion. Since vampires receive an excessive amount of attention in society, Snoopy decided that a mummy costume would be the more unique choice. As seen in the picture on the top left corner, he has a pencil attached to him. The tension of the string causes the pencil's state of motion to be affected by Snoopy's movement. If Snoopy remained stationary, no unbalanced force would act on the pencil to change its state of motion. The picture in the center indicates how Snoopy's motion causes the pencil to move with him at the same velocity. In the picture on the top right corner, Snoopy's fall from the table also makes the pencil travel towards the ground. In essence, when Snoopy stops moving, the pencil also stops.
