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".

Difference between freefall and weightlessness.​
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Differences between freefall and weightlessness are as follows:

<h3><u>Freefall</u></h3>
  • When a body falls only under the influence of gravity, it is called free fall.
  • Freefall is not possible in absence of gravity.
  • A body falling in a vacuum is an example of free fall.

<h3><u>Weightlessness</u></h3>
  • Weightlessness is a condition at which the apparent weight of body becomes zero.
  • Weightlessness is possible in absence of gravity.
  • A man in a free falling lift is an example of weightlessness.

Hope this helps....

Good luck on your assignment....

What type of heat transfer is used to fry an egg in a pan and how can you tell?
Deffense [45]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which transfer of heat occurring when one object touches another object is known as conduction.  

For example, when a pan is heated and then an egg is placed over the pan. Then there will be transfer of heat from pan towards the egg.

As a result, the egg gets cooked because the egg was touching the pan.

Hence, we can conclude that it is conduction because the egg is touching the pan.
