Answer:
4N downward
Explanation:
the 16N left and right cancel each other out, so you are left with the 4N downward.
The answer is (A) the object must be at rest.
When all of the forces acting on an object balance, the net force is zero and hence the object will not move.
Yes, the direction might also change under some special circumstances.
The mass of a planet determines the acceleration due to gravity on it. This is according to Newton's Law of Gravitation, which basically states that the more mass a body has, the greater the force of attraction it exerts on other bodies with mass near it.
The gravitational force is:
F = GMm/r², where G is a constant, r is the distance between large mass M and small mass m.
Considering the fact that acceleration is force per unit mass, if we divide gravitational force by the small mass (to get force per unit mass), we see the dependence mathematically:
a = GM/r²
Answer:

Explanation:
Static friction occurs when an object initially starts at rest. When the surfaces of the materials touch, the microscopic unevenness interlock greatest with each other, causing the most friction out of the three.
During sliding friction, an object is already moving or in motion. The microscopic surfaces still interlock, but because the object is in motion, it has a momentum. Therefore, the magnitude of sliding friction is less than that of static friction.
Rolling friction occurs when an object rolls across some surface. Rather than surfaces interlocking, rolling friction is caused by the constant distortion of surfaces. As it rolls, the surfaces of the object are constantly wrapping and changing. This distortion causes the rolling friction. However, it is much less in magnitude when compared to static or sliding friction.
