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.

The direction of the gravitational force is always toward the center
of the Earth.  Wherever you are, it's the direction you call "down".

If the wavelength of a wave is quadrupied then what happens to the frequency of the wqve(Assume speed is constant) ​
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

What happens to the wavelength of a wave if you double the frequency?

If the frequency of a wave is increased, what happens to its wavelength? As the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases. 2. If the frequency is doubled, the wavelength is only half as long.

Figure 23.9 shows a sliding mass on a spring. Assume there is no friction.
Tom [10]
<span>Without friction, there will be undamped simple harmonic motion. The force of the spring is proportional to the distance from the equilibrium point. The period of oscillation will be independent of the amplitude.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!</span>

A pipe originally has a radius of 1.25m. It narrows down to a radius of 0.55m. If the original force in the big pipe is 72N, wha
Gemiola [76]

Use direct proportionality: If 1.25 m = 72 N, then 0.55 m = y

0.55 m × 72 = 39.6.

39.6÷1,25 gives you your answer which is 31.68 N.

Answer:

The probability of an incorrect report is found to be 0.03 or 3%.

Explanation:

We will get an incorrect report in both the cases of false alarm or missing excessive radiation. Since, both are mutually exclusive events. Therefore, the probability of both events to occur simultaneously will be 0. Thus, the probability of an incorrect report will be the sum of the probability of false alarm and the probability of a missing radiation.

P (False Alarm) = 0.02

P (Missing Radiation) = 0.01

P(Incorrect Report) = P (False Alarm) + P(Missing Radiation)

P (Incorrect Report) = 0.02 +0.01

P(Incorrect Report) = 0.03 = 3%

Un móvil se desplaza con movimiento uniforme con una rapidez de 36 Km/h ¿Cuál es la distancia recorrida al cabo de 0,5 horas?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Distancia = 17,5 kilómetros.

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Velocidad = 36 km/h

Tiempo = 0.5 horas

Para encontrar la distancia recorrida;

Distancia = velocidad * tiempo

Distancia = 35 * 0.5

Distancia = 17,5 kilómetros.

Por tanto, la distancia recorrida por el automóvil es de 17,5 kilómetros.
