A paper placed in between two books can be quickly pulled out without moving the books.which statement explains this phenomenon
a.) There are no forces acting between the books and the paper. b.) The pull of gravity on the book is greater than the force of gravity on the paper. c.) The two books exert force only on each other and not on the paper. d.) The books have a great deal of inertia and do not move easily.
Answer: d.) The books have a great deal of inertia and do not move easily
Explanation:
Inertia is the property of a body due to its mass. A heavy object requires more force to be pushed or pulled as compared to a lighter object. Basically, due to the property of inertia, a body resists change in its motion.
In the given situation, the books are heavier as compared to the paper. A small force would pull out the paper but books being heavy would not move easily. Thus, a paper placed in between two books can be quickly pulled out without moving the books. correct option is d.
