Newton's laws?
there is an athlete climbing a rope in gym class. he gets to a point halfway up the rope and is stationary. someone puts a bag of sand that is equal in weight to the athlete. they are both static and then the athlete starts to climb the rope, slowing and speeding up at random intervals.
what happens to the bag of sand as he climbs?
i was thinking that the bag of sand would move up a little bit as he was climbing slower and then down as he is climbing faster?
am i right, or would the bag of sand stay at rest because they are the same weight?
i'm thinking the first one...
