To start the object moving you must apply a horizontal force parallel to the table. If the force is too small it won’t overcome the “bonding” and the object s ...

Chapter 4 Forces and Newton’s Laws of Motion
... An inertial reference frame is one in which Newton’s law of inertia is valid. All accelerating reference frames are non-inertial. Examples of non-inertial reference frames: In an accelerating car, accelerating elevator, accelerating rocket, in a centrifuge (ac inward) and in a car making a turn (dir ...

... The above condition is sufficient for a point-like particle to be at its translational equilibrium. However for object with size this is not sufficient. One more condition is needed. What is it? Let’s consider two forces equal magnitude but in opposite direction acting on a rigid object as shown in ...

Using Newtons Laws
... When an object moves through any fluid, such as air or water, the fluid exerts a drag force on the moving object in the direction opposite to its motion. A drag force is the force exerted by a fluid on the object moving through the fluid. This force is dependent on the motion of the object, the prop ...
