I’d think the answer would be C. i’m just kinda guessing but my thought process is this (as simply as i can put it because physics is confusing):

so for example say you throw a ball across a flat surface. inertia is what keeps the ball rolling straight in a line, so unless you were to maybe put your hand in front of the ball or something, it would just go straight forever.

this is what happens with the planets. they go in a straight line, but since there’s gravity, the planets are also being pulled towards the sun. so gravity and inertia are why the planets orbit in the circle pattern they do. so when we remove inertia, we’re removing the state in which the planets keep going straight while being pulled towards a center point (the sun). this causes gravity to be the only factor in the planets orbiting. so that being said, the planets would just be pulled towards the sun. :)

Answer: 39.5 N

Explanation:

2 x force x static friction coefficient = weight  (weight=2μsF)

force = ?

static friction coefficient = 0.416

weight = 32.9N

substituting the values above into the equation we get

2 x F x 0.416 = 32.9

F = 32.9 / (2 x 0.416)

F = 39.5N

Answer:

Frames of reference.

For measuring the physical quantities you have to rely on something as a reference point or a standard value. In the case of physical quantities that are vectors, and an abstract coordinate system is required to express it clearly.

Let us consider a body located on a ship at some point. We can measure its distance from a ship or from the terrace of the building. Hence, we are assigning a coordinate system with respect to a person standing on the ship and terrace. These coordinate systems are called the frames of reference.

While measuring the distance, both coordinate system gives specific values for the same location with regard to the frames of reference.

When the ship is moving, the person on the terrace observes that his values of the distance change. But the person on the ship did not observe any change with respect to his coordinate system.

Similarly, If a person considers a moving train as his frame of reference where his coordinate system is in motion, he finds the things that are stationary on earth seem to move.

The train is his frame of reference which has a velocity with respect to Earth.

Therefore, anything that is stationary with respect to the ground seems to be in motion with respect to his frame of reference.
