As he flies over Newfoundland he notices a fly on the dashboard. Speaking to the fly, he wonders aloud, “Does the planeweigh less if you fly inside it as it’s flying? Now that’s an interestingquestion.” What do you think?arrow_forwardOne day Timmy was shopping at Trader Joe's. As he gets in line he sees Godzilla near the front of a line. Timmy does not think Godzilla is really in line yet because he is too far away from the cashier, so Timmy gets in line in front of Godzilla. Turns out, Timmy was mistaken. (The direction Timmy moves is considered to be positive! The ground is a horizontal surface.) Godzilla puts Timmy on the ground and then kicks him out of the store. How many forces act on Timmy as he slides on the ground and out of the store? 4 0 1 Unable to be determined from the given information 2 3arrow_forward
