Homework Statement A bug crawls outward from the center of a CD spinning at 200 revolutions per min. The static friction coefficient is 1.2 between the bug and cd. How far does the bug get from the center before slipping? https://www.physicsforums.com/Nexus/editor/menupop.gif...

so v2 - v1/ t is the Fnet acceleration, then i don't understand how you get the force acting upon it

Homework Statement A 1.25-kg object is moving in the x direction at 17.4 m/s. Just 3.41 s later, it is moving at 26.8 m/s at 34° to the x axis. What are the magnitude and direction of the force applied during this time? Homework Equations F = ma = m(v/t) The Attempt at a Solution I...
