Thalia is drafting a plan to move a large, perfect sphere concrete sculpture that is in front of her office building. Describe the considerations Thalia would need to make if she was drafting a plan to move the sculpture

Sample Response: Thalia would need to consider that the sculpture's inertia is keeping the object in place. Newton's first law applies to this situation. The inertia would have to be overcome to enable the sculpture to move, but the inertia would also keep the sculpture moving after its movement was started. The force that is required to move the sculpture would depend on the mass and acceleration at which Thalia wanted the sculpture to move. Finally, any force applied to the sculpture would be resisted by the sculpture in an equal and opposite manner.

Answer:She would need to first know the weight of the sculpture and what she is going to move it with then she will need to use newton's second law to calculate the amount of force needed to move it

Explanation: I just did the assignment on edgunity
