<span>CO2 is a linear molecule so despite of having to dipolar bonds they add up and exactly cancel each other rendering the molecule non-polar.</span>

You push a coin across a table. The coin stops. How does this motion relate to balanced and unbalanced forces?

Snezhnost [94]

If you are pushing the coin across the table at a constant rate, the friction of the table and the horizontal force of your hand pushing are equal, and the coin itself moves at a constant rate. If you push a coin and let it go, there is no horizontal force keeping the coin going. Friction slows the coin to a stop. In both cases, the gravitational downward pull of Earth is equally but oppositely resisted by the upward push of table on the coin.
