Cleanup Time!

I've ordered my copy of The Trouble With Physics thanks to Backreaction. Looking forward to a good read. I think my students believe the trouble with Physics is it makes them have to think too darned hard! What an effort it was today to help them to comprehend that an object can still be moving if there is no net force acting on it. Hurray, they finally get it....I think. Constant velocity kids!!
And sir..."What if the normal reaction force is greater than the weight??" Huh?
