In figure A, why does the cup get pulled?

Due to gravitational force acting on the nuts

What is the relation between the displacement of the cup and the force applied through the ruler in figure B?

No relation

Why doesn’t the cup get displaced in figure C?

Due to gravitational force acting equally on both sides

What type of work is done in figures A, B, and C?

Zero work

What is the relationship between the applied force and displacement in the three actions above?

Unrelated

Why does the cup get stopped by placing a ruler in its path in figure B?

The ruler generates a force that counteracts the cup's motion

What role does gravity play in keeping the nuts hanging in figures A and C?

Gravity pulls the nuts downward due to their weight

Learn about the law of conservation of momentum in action when a bullet is fired from a gun. Understand how the momentum of the bullet and gun are related, leading to the gun's recoil.
