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>
m = 43.2 kg
Explanation:
volume of sphere = (4/3)pi(r)^3
= (4/3)(3.14)(2 m)^3
= 33.5 m^3
density = mass/volume
or solving for mass m,
m = (density)×(volume)
= (1.29 kg/m^3)(33.5 m^3)
= 43.2 kg
Answer: C.
Explanation:
For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.
The capacitance is:
C = e*A/d
You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.
Now, the stored energy can be written as:
E = (1/2)*Q^2/C
Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:
E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)
e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.
Then we can define:
K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)
And now we can write the energy as:
E = K*d
Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.
