In which direction does a bag at rest move when a force of 20 newtons is applied from the right? a. in the direction of the applied force b. in the direction opposite of the direction of the applied force c. perpendicular to the direction of the applied force d. in a circular motion

The correct answer is A. In the direction of applied force. This is because acceleration occurs n the direction of applied force according to Newtons second law of motion which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of force.

A. in the direction of the applied force

Explanation:

As per newton's first law of motion we know that object will not change in its state of motion till some external force is applied on it

So here we can say that when force is applied on an stationary object then the stationary object will move in the direction of applied force so change in the state of motion from rest state to moving state will occur and the direction of motion must be in applied force direction

So correct answer will be

A. in the direction of the applied force

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
