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".

Brrunno [24]

hi, so the material that would normally form mineral crystals does not have time to form a crystalline structure because of very rapid cooling after volcanically erupting into the air or onto the surface. Obsidian is a volcanic glass.

A small but measurable current of 3.8 × 10-10 A exists in a copper wire whose diameter is 2.5 mm. The number of charge carriers

Karolina [17]

Answer:

a) 4.9*10^-6

b) 5.71*10^-15

Explanation:

Given

current, I = 3.8*10^-10A

Diameter, D = 2.5mm

n = 8.49*10^28

The equation for current density and speed drift is

J = I/A = (ne) Vd

A = πD²/4

A = π*0.0025²/4

A = π*6.25*10^-6/4

A = 4.9*10^-6

Now,

J = I/A

J = 3.8*10^-10/4.9*10^-6

J = 7.76*10^-5

Electron drift speed is

J = (ne) Vd

Vd = J/(ne)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/(8.49*10^28)*(1.60*10^-19)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/1.3584*10^10

Vd = 5.71*10^-15

Therefore, the current density and speed drift are 4.9*10^-6

And 5.71*10^-15 respectively

<span>The correct frequency when you tune a guitar is when you hear the right tune in your own hearing and standard. The measure frequency of a guitar string is when you measure the tune of the string correctly. This is not the same because manual tuning is affected by many factors.</span>
