I have spent the afternoon reading a new text "Physics: A Contemporary
Perspective" by Randall Knight from Cal. Poly at San Luis Obispo, Addison
Wesley. It is one of a new breed of textbooks that are beginning to use
the insights that the Physics Education Research Community has brought to
our attention. His discussion of the problem is superb, and I now have
new insights into this problem of zero work forces, and where the enrgy
goes when a block slides over the table. I think many contributers to
this list would anjoy it too.
