Answer: apparent weighlessness.
Explanation:
1) Balance of forces on a person falling:
i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).
ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).
iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).
2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.
3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.
Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.
Answer:
<em>No, a rigid body cannot experience any acceleration when the resultant force acting on the body is zero.</em>
Explanation:
If the net force on a body is zero, then it means that all the forces acting on the body are balanced and cancel out one another. This sate of equilibrium can be static equilibrium (like that of a rigid body), or dynamic equilibrium (that of a car moving with constant velocity)
For a body under this type of equilibrium,
ΣF = 0 ...1
where ΣF is the resultant force (total effective force due to all the forces acting on the body)
For a body to accelerate, there must be a force acting on it. The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied, for a constant mass of the body. The relationship between the net force and mass is given as
ΣF = ma ...2
where m is the mass of the body
a is the acceleration of the body
Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, we have
0 = ma
therefore,
a = 0
this means that<em> if the resultant force acting on a rigid body is zero, then there won't be any force available to produce acceleration on the body.</em>

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.
<h2>
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>
Answer:
The difference between the sidereal and synodic months occurs becuase as our moon moves around the earth, the earth also moves around our sun. Our moon must travel a little farther in its path to make up for the added distance and complete the phase cycle.
Explanation:
Hope this helps.
