Answer:

The Moon takes exactly the same to rotate on its axis than to orbit around the Earth, a period of just over 27 days; That is why we always see the same lunar hemisphere.

Explanation:

It is a phenomenon called gravitational coupling.

If you try to surround a tree while keeping your face towards it, when you complete the turn, you will have turned on yourself 360º.

What’s the formula for work
padilas [110]

Answer:

Fd

Explanation:

Work is force times distance. If you push on an object really hard but it does not budge, you have still performed no work on it, because anything times zero is still zero.

Formular for coefficient of friction<br>​
Bumek [7]

Answer:

hope you like it mark as brainliest

Explanation:

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. There are several types of friction: Dry friction is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact.

The coefficient of friction (fr) is a number that is the ratio of the resistive force of friction (Fr) divided by the normal or perpendicular force (N) pushing the objects together. It is represented by the equation: fr = Fr/N.

A box is being pulled to the right. What is the direction of the gravitational force?
lapo4ka [179]

The correct answer to the question is vertically downward i.e towards the centre of earth.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the box is pulled to the right.

Hence, the direction of the applied force is towards right.

We are asked to determine the direction of the gravitational force that acts on the body.

Before answering this question, first we gave to understand the gravitational force of earth.

Any body present on the surface of earth is attracted with the force of gravity of earth ( gravitational force ) towards its centre.  It is equivalent to the weight of the body.  

The force of gravity is always directed towards the centre of earth irrespective of the nature of applied force.

Hence, the direction of the gravitational force which acts on the box is vertically downward.
