Answer: 1.76 Nm
Explanation:
If the force pulls horizontally, this means that the force is tangent to the disk at any point of the string unwinding process, so the distance d is irrelevant.
In this case, the torque is directly given by the product of the force times the distance perpendicular to the center of the disk, which is just the radius, as follows:
τ = F * r = 16 N. (0.11) m = 1.76 Nm
<span>So we want to know which Newtons law explains the reaction when we bump into the coffee cup the coffee is spilled out. So Newtons 1st law says that a body stays in motion or it stands still until a force acts on that body. So we acted by a force on the coffee cup and the coffee continued to move even if there was no force on the coffee after we bumped the coffee cup.</span>
Pat realized that law is scientific fact, while theory is an educated guess.
<span>The car has more momentum. (A)*
Also, the car is made out of more resilient material than the bug is.
* Unless the bug is much bigger than the car.</span>
