The equilibrium condition allows finding the correct answer for the force that is resisting the weight of the apple is:

        3. Normal force

Newton's second law gives the relationship between <em>force, mass</em> and acceleration of bodies, in the special case that the acceleration is is called the equilibrium condition.

            ∑ F = 0

Where F is the external force.

The free body diagram is a diagram of the forces on bodies without the details of the shape of the body, in the attached we can see a scheme of the forces.

Let's write the equilibrium condition for the apple

          N - W = 0

          N = W

.

We can see that the only forces acting on the apple are its weights and reaction from the table called Normal.

Let's analyze the different answers:

1. False. The apple is not moving therefore the resistance is zero

2. False. The apple is not moving  so friction it with the table is  

3. True. The free-body diagram shows that the normal and the weight are equal

4. False. There is nothing to pull the apple so there is no tension

5. False. Gravity is the weight of the apple that is applied to the table, not from the table to the apple.

In conclusion using the equilibrium condition we can find the correct result for the force that is resisting the weight of the apple is:

        3. Normal force

Machmer Hall is 400 m North and 180 m West of Witless.
yan [13]

Answer:

The distance from Witless to Machmer is 438.63 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Machmer Hall is 400 m North and 180 m West of Witless.

We need to calculate the distance

Using Pythagorean theorem

D = \sqrt{(d_{m})^2+(d_{w})^2}

Where, d_{m} =distance of Machmer Hall

d_{w} =distance of Witless

Put the value into the formula

D = \sqrt{(400)^2+(180)^2}

D=438.63\ m

Hence, The distance from Witless to Machmer is 438.63 m.

The total angular momentum of the system about point B is L=m_1r_1\omega_1+m_2r_2\omega_2

Angular momentum, also known as moment of momentum or rotational momentum, is the rotating counterpart of linear momentum.

A rigid object's angular momentum is defined as the product of its moment of inertia and its angular velocity. If there is no external torque on the object, it is analogous to linear momentum and is subject to the fundamental constraints of the conservation of angular momentum principle. The vector quantity angular momentum It is derived from the expression for a particle's angular momentum.

Given,

mass of ball 1 = m1

m₂ mass of ball 2=m2

v₁ is the velocity of ball=r₁ω₁

v₂ is the velocity of ball 2=r₂ω₂

The total angular momentum is given as;

V_{total}=r_1\omega_1+r_2\omega_2\\\\L=m_1r_1\omega_1+m_2r_2\omega_2

Hence the total angular momentum  will be L=m_1r_1\omega_1+m_2r_2\omega_2
