Take the upward and to-the-right directions to be positive (so down and to-the-left are negative).
The vertical forces acting on the object cancel, 6 N - 6 N = 0.
The horizontal forces exert a net force of 20 N - 3 N = 17 N. This net force is positive, so it points to the right. So the answer is A.
The gain in gravitational potential energy of the mass = 100 kg m^2 / s^2.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Gravitational potential energy is an energy in which an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the Earth's surface where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.
The formula for the gravitational potential energy is the product of mass, gravity, and height.
GPE = m *g *h
where m represents mass in kg,
g represents the gravity,
h represents the height.
GPE = 5 * 10 * 2 = 100 kg m^2 / s^2.

Answer:
(a) 0.33 second
(b) 6 cm/s
Explanation:
Frequency, f = 3 waves per second
wavelength, λ = 2 cm = 0.02 m
(a) The period of wave is defined as the time taken by the wave to complete one oscillation. It is the reciprocal of frequency.
T = 1 / f = 1 / 3 = 0.33 second
(b) the relation between wave velocity, frequency and wavelength is given by
v = f x λ
v = 3 x 0.02 = 0.06 m /s
v = 6 cm /s
Answer:
The splitting up of light into its constituent colours while passing from one medium to the other is called dispersion.
