Explanation:
The table is level and there are no other forces on the book, so the normal force is equal to the weight.
N = mg
N = (2.3 kg) (9.8 m/s²)
N = 22.5 N
Answer: The bug will remain motionless
Explanation:
According to Newton's first Law of Motion (sometimes called Law of Inertia):
<em>An object at rest or describing a uniform straight line motion (moving at constant velocity), will remain at rest or moving unless an external force is applied to it and changes its state of rest or motion.
</em>
In other words:
An object or body will keep its state of motion until an external force changes its state
This means that objects tend to remain in its state of motion, and is the definition of the inertia, as well.
In addition, according to his law, an object in rest can be in equilibrium (net force equals to zero), and a moving object can also be in equilibrium, as long as it keeps a constant velocity.
<h2>
This is why the bug, which is at rest will remain at rest, although the ants are simultaneously pulling it in different directions, since the resultant of all these forces is zero.</h2>
Answer:
v₀ = 280.6 m / s
Explanation:
we have the shock between the bullet and the block that we can work with at the moment and another part where the assembly (bullet + block) compresses a spring, which we can work with mechanical energy,
We write the mechanical energy when the shock has passed the bodies
Em₀ = K = ½ (m + M) v²
We write the mechanical energy when the spring is in maximum compression

½ (m + M) v² = ½ k x²
Let's calculate the system speed
v = √ [k x² / (m + M)]
v = √[152 ×0.78² / (0.012 +0.109) ]
v = 27.65 m / s
This is the speed of the bullet + Block system
Now let's use the moment to solve the shock
Before the crash
p₀ = m v₀
After the crash

The system is formed by the bullet and block assembly, so the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is preserved

m v₀ = (m + M) v
v₀ = v (m + M) / m
let's calculate
v₀ = 27.83 (0.012 +0.109) /0.012
v₀ = 280.6 m / s
Scalars are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone.
Vectors are quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.
