What direction does weight act in?
DIt acts down
What direction does gravity act on a plane?
Always toward the center of the Earth.
A scalar quantity has what?
A size but no direction. Mass is a scalar but the force we call weight is a vector: it always points down.
Which direction does up thrust act in?
upward direction
In what way does friction always act?
And it not only DOES; it works in no other way. Friction is a sneaky thing. You know how a thermos "knows" to keep the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold? Well, friction always knows in which direction you're trying to go and pushes against you!
What direction does weight act in?
DIt acts down
Can action-reaction forces always act in the same direction?
No, they can NEVER act in the same directions.
What direction does gravity act on a plane?
Always toward the center of the Earth.
Friction ask in the opposite direction of?
Frictional force must always act in opposite directions
Does the buoyant force act in all ways?
No buoyant force would act only in the upward direction against the weight of the body as it gets immersed in the liquid.
Can upthrust act at a distance?
N o! the upthrust can not act at a distance because it acts on the centre of gravity of the object submerged in water in the opposite direction of weight.
A vector always consist of?
A vector always consists of a direction and magnitude. For example, a vector representing the weight of an object that is 35N would be represented as an arrow pointing downward with a magnitude of 35N. You could also represent the weight of 35N as -35N, in which the negative symbol indicates a downward force.
What does the dierection of friction always act?
it acts in the opposite direction of motion or force
Why aship floats on a water?
Because the weight of ship balances the upthrust force , We know that weight always act downward and upthrust force always act upward so we can say that it comes in equillibrium condition . that's why it keeps floating on water..........
In which direction does friction act?
Friction always acts in the opposite direction to that of the motion of the other object. Meaning, friction slows down the motion of an object by exerting opposing forces on it.
A scalar quantity has what?
A size but no direction. Mass is a scalar but the force we call weight is a vector: it always points down.
Do objects in motion always change position and may change direction?
Objects in motion continuously change position.To change direction, a force needs to act upon them.
