. (a) When a soft object rests on a softsurface, the net force on the object due to the surface is directly upward. (b) As the object rolls tothe left, the net force becomes unbalanced and tilts to the right. (c) The net force can be split intonormal and rolling resistance components. Although rolling resistance is not strictly a friction force, it behaves like friction from ananalysis standpoint: ● The force of rolling resistance (frr) is drawn on the FBD opposing the direction of motion of the vehicle at the surface (similar to how fk is drawn for a crate sliding on a surface). ● It is calculated by multiplying the normal force (N) by the coefficient of rolling resistance (μrr): frr = μrrN ● The coefficient of rolling

the horizontal “real” axis. This conventional symbol is i which has the property that itrotates vectors by 90º counterclockwise. In this system the Cartesian form, a + bi of a complexnumber can be constructed by adding the horizontal value a to the value b rotated by 90ºcounterclockwise. On the real number line this is the same construction that is capable ofproducing negative numbers by adding the positive value a to the positive value b rotated by180º counterclockwise, that is, a + b × (–1).The value i times i has the effect of adding two 90º counterclockwise rotations producing arotation of 180º which is the same as multiplication by –1; that is, it produces a reversal indirection. Taking this as a starting point, all the properties of
