Answer:
D. Newton's first law
Explanation:
Newton's first law of inertia says that an object will remain how it is, unless affected by an outside force. In this case, the plates want to remain stationary(not moving). Therefore, if you pull the table cloth fast enough, the force of friction produced will be small enough so that the Inertia of the plates will overcome the force of friction.
Answer:
a) 
b) 

Explanation:
Searching the missed information we have:
E: is the energy emitted in the plutonium decay = 8.40x10⁻¹³ J
m(⁴He): is the mass of the helium nucleus = 6.68x10⁻²⁷ kg
m(²³⁵U): is the mass of the helium U-235 nucleus = 3.92x10⁻²⁵ kg
a) We can find the velocities of the two nuclei by conservation of linear momentum and kinetic energy:
Linear momentum:


Since the plutonium nucleus is originally at rest,
:
(1)
Kinetic Energy:

(2)
By entering equation (1) into (2) we have:
Solving the above equation for
we have:

And by entering that value into equation (1):
The minus sign means that the helium-4 nucleus is moving in the opposite direction to the uranium-235 nucleus.
b) Now, the kinetic energy of each nucleus is:
For He-4:

For U-235:

Answer:
F = 0 [N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must perform a summation of forces in the direction of the vertical axis. Where the positive force is that of the tension of the upward force, while the force exerted by the weight is directed downward with a negative sign.
ΣF = 0
15 - 15 + F = 0
F = 0 [N]
