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.

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>
Except for climate which has changes over the eons.
Answer:
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor can be calculated using the formula μ = Ff / N, where Ff is the frictional force, N is the normal force, and μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction.
In this case, the normal force is equal to the weight of the crate, which is 24 kg * 9.8 m/s2 = 235.2 N. The frictional force can be calculated using the formula Ff = μ * N, where μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction and N is the normal force.
If we substitute the values for N and Ff into the formula for the coefficient of kinetic friction, we get:μ = 53 N / 235.2 N = 0.225
Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.225.
