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".

A block slides forward 4.73 m while being pulled back by a 39.7 N force at 142° from the direction of motion. How much work does

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

work done by the force, W = -147.97 J

Given:

displacement of the box, s = 4.73 m

angle between force and displacement, $\theta = 142^{\circ}$

Force, F = 39.7 N

Solution:

Work done by the force can be expressed as the dot product of Force, F and displacement 's' is given by:

W = Fscos $\theta$

W = 39.7 $\times 4.73\times cos142^{\circ}$

W = -147.97 J

where negative sign indicates that work is done on the block

What is the period of a wave if the wavelength is 100 m and the speed is 200 m/s?

galina1969 [7]

Uh it's c) 0.5 :), and for some reason i need to write 20 characters to explain it well, okay you need to divide speed/wavelength, that's it

A source emits monochromatic light of wavelength 495 nm in air. when the light passes through a liquid, its wavelength reduces t

Katyanochek1 [597]

By definition, the refractive index is
n = c/v
where c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s, the speed of light in vacuum
v = the speed of light in the medium (the liquid).

The frequency of the light source is
f = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(495 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 6.0606 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Because the wavelength in the liquid is 434 nm = 434 x 10⁻⁹ m,
v = (6.0606 x 10¹⁴ 1/s)*(434 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 2.6303 x 10⁸ m/s

The refractive index is (3 x 10⁸)/(2.6303 x 10⁸) = 1.1406
