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".

Four springs with the following spring constants, 113.0 N/m, 65.0 N/m, 102.0 N/m, and 101.0 N/m are connected in series. What is

Llana [10]

Answer:

$K_e_q=22.75878093\frac{N}{m}$

$f=1.363684118Hz$

Explanation:

In order to calculate the equivalent spring constant we need to use the next formula:

$\frac{1}{K_e_q} =\frac{1}{K_1} +\frac{1}{K_2} +\frac{1}{K_3} +\frac{1}{K_4}$

Replacing the data provided:

$\frac{1}{K_e_q} =\frac{1}{113} +\frac{1}{65} +\frac{1}{102} +\frac{1}{101}$

$K_e_q=22.75878093\frac{N}{m}$

Finally, to calculate the frequency of oscillation we use this:

$f=\frac{1}{2(pi)} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

Replacing m and k:

$f=\frac{1}{2(pi)} \sqrt{\frac{22.75878093}{0.31} } =1.363684118Hz$

A first order reaction, A -> products, has a rate reaction of .00250 Ms-1 when [A] = . 484 M. (a) What is the rate constant,

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: a) The rate constant, k, for this reaction is $0.00516s^{-1}$

b) No $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ does not depend on concentration.

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$A\rightarrow products$
