Answer:

D) Vertically.

Explanation:

A free body diagram is used to represent all the forces acting in a body. forces like, the force of gravity as a result of the gravitational interaction between the object and the Earth (W), the frictional force opposite to the movement of the object (F_{r}), the normal force due to the plane and the object (N) and the force applied to start the movement in a particular direction (F).

As is show in the free body diagram of the system, W, which is the weight of the body as a consequence of the gravitational force, is at an angle \theta below the inclined plane. that angle between the plane and the x axis is the same that the one of the inclined plane with respect to the horizontal, Since its sides are perpendicular.  

Notice how W goes always in the direction to the center of mass of Earth in a vertical path (For comparison see figure (a) and (b)).

Why does the solar system consist of small planets orbiting close to sun and larger on more distant
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The inner planets are smaller and rockier

Explanation:

Astronomers divide the planets into two groups in Solar system,  the  inner planets and outer planets. The inner planets are smaller and rockier and it is closer to the sun.  The outer planets are larger , further far away and made of gas

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus , Earth and Mars.  The outer planets Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus and Neptune comes after an  asteroid belt. In some other planetary systems the gas are close to the sun.

particles in a disk of gas and dust will form Planets.  If they orbit the star they are colliding and sticking.  The stars wind blows away their gases . So the nearest planets to starts are rockier.

How would you respond to a person who argued that the Big Bang theory is incorrect because it is only a theory and theories have
Umnica [9.8K]

Well, you would reply that that's not what theories are. Theories explain the how and the why, laws explain the what. So, the Big Bang theory isn't "just a theory". It's a theory, it explains the how. (Also, if someone tells you it's anti-God or whatever, tell them the thoery was created by a Catholic scientist. True fact.) I hoped this helped!!! (You don't have the include who created the theory if this is for homework.)

A block and tackle is used to lift an automobile engine that weighs 1800 N. The person exerts a force of 300 N to lift the engin
Sidana [21]

Answer:

1800/300 = 6ropes

Explanation:

The engine weighs 1800N and the person exerts a force of 300N, so for him to lift the engine and exerting a force of 300N all through we divide the weight of the engine by the force exerted to know how many ropes are used. Which makes it 6 thereby each rope uses 300N to lift the engine.
