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 car starts out traveling at 35 m/s. The car hits the brakes and decelerates at a rate of 3 m/s^2 for 5 seconds. What Distance

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Time needed: 2.5 s
Distance covered: 31.3 m

Explanation:

I'll start with the distance covered while decelerating. Since you know that the initial speed of the car is 15.0 m/s, and that its final speed must by 10.0 m/s, you can use the known acceleration to determine the distance covered by

v2f=v2i−2⋅a⋅d

Isolate d on one side of the equation and solve by plugging your values

d=v2i−v2f2a

d=(15.02−10.02)m2s−22⋅2.0ms−2

d=31.3 m

To get the time needed to reach this speed, i.e. 10.0 m/s, you can use the following equation

vf=vi−a⋅t, which will get you

t=vi−vfa

t=(15.0−10.0)ms2.0ms2=2.5 s

A 70 kg human sprinter can accelerate from rest to 10 m/s in 3.0 s. During the same time interval, a 30 kg greyhound can go from

ladessa [460]

Answer:

$P_1 = 1166.7 Watt$

$P_2 = 2000 Watt$

Explanation:

Average power for the human sprinter is given as

$Power = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t}$

so we have

$P = \frac{\frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0}{\Delta t}$

$P = \frac{\frac{1}{2}(70)(10^2) - 0}{3}$

$P_1 = 1166.7 Watt$

Average power for greyhound is given as

$P = \frac{\frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0}{\Delta t}$

$P = \frac{\frac{1}{2}(30)(20^2) - 0}{3}$

$P_2 = 2000 Watt$

You exert of force of 75 newtons on a rock. You push and you push, but you can't budge it. You are exhausted! How much work did

sergiy2304 [10]

You performed 0 work for the fact that work means the distance of movement made on an object not the amount of force it is exposed to. 0 work because it didn't move
