In the demonstration, we saw that the stationary coin wanted to remain at rest. Make a prediction: how do you think the man in the movie could have made the coin move? Explain your reasoning.

Question

PLS HURRY

Answer 1

There are a few ways that the man in the movie could have made the coin move. One way is by applying a force to the coin. This could be done by pushing it with his finger or by using another object to hit it. Another way is by changing the surface the coin is on. For example, if the man were to change the angle of the surface the coin is on, the force of gravity acting on the coin would change and cause it to move. Alternatively, he could blow on the coin to create air resistance and cause it to move.

My reasoning for these predictions is based on Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force. Therefore, if the man wants the coin to move, he needs to apply a force to overcome inertia and change the coin's state of motion.
