Equatorial currents are primarily westward. This is because the dominant current in the northern hemisphere has a clockwise direction, while the southern hemisphere has a counterclockwise direction. When these two currents meet at the equator, a common westward current exists.

Suppose the velocity of an object moving along a line is positive. are position, displacement, and distance traveled equal? expl
Pavlova-9 [17]

No, the object's displacement and distance travelled will be equal, but since the initial position is unknown, the object's position might not match up with its displacement and distance travelled.

We cannot assert that the displacement or distance equals the position because the initial position is not provided. We could reach a different conclusion if the starting position had been zero because the distance from zero is equal to the position.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The free body diagram is attached.

Explanation:

A force of 31[N] to the east, the second force goes to the south and it is equal to 28[N], the third force goes to the west and it is equal to 39 [N].

We can consider the crate as a particle. And all the forces are acting over the particle.
