Place a pencil or pen in front of you on the surface that you are working on. In one paragraph, using your own words, describe t
hree different forces that are currently acting on your writing utensil, despite the fact that it is currently motionless. (Hint: Remember that the pencil is made of atoms and atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons).
I am not going to right the parragraph (it says to use your own words, they could trace it back to me if you use my words, and you would get it trouble).
But I will tell you the forces acting on the pencil:
Gravity (pulls on the pencil)
Your hand (pushing it up canceling out gravity)
And the electromagnetic force (holding the thing together)
