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>
The correct answer (sample response) is:
The image seems to be behind the mirror, but nothing is really there.
Include the following in your response:
The image appears to be behind the mirror.
If someone looks behind the mirror, there is no image there.
Answer:
K = -½U
Explanation:
From Newton's law of gravitation, the formula for gravitational potential energy is;
U = -GMm/R
Where,
G is gravitational constant
M and m are the two masses exerting the forces
R is the distance between the two objects
Now, in the question, we are given that kinetic energy is;
K = GMm/2R
Re-rranging, we have;
K = ½(GMm/R)
Comparing the equation of kinetic energy to that of potential energy, we can derive that gravitational kinetic energy can be expressed in terms of potential energy as;
K = -½U
