A big wooden box is being pushed on the ground from east to west direction. The force of friction due to ground will act on this box towards:
(a) north direction
(b) south direction
(c) east direction
(d) west direction

Academic Physics NCERT Class 8

As a big wooden box is being pushed on the ground from east to west direction. The force of friction due to the ground will act on this box in opposite direction west to east.

So, option (c) is correct.

(Street Plan) : A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are \( 200 \mathrm{~m} \) apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using \( 1 \mathrm{~cm}=200 \mathrm{~m} \), draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the \( 2^{\text {nd }} \) street running in the North - South direction and \( 5^{\text {th }} \) in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street \( (2,5) \). Using this convention, find:(i) how many cross - streets can be referred to as \( (4,3) \).(ii) how many cross - streets can be referred to as \( (3,4) \).
The work done is zero ifa. The body shows displacement in the opposite direction of the force applied. b. The body shows displacement in the same direction as that of the force applied. c. The body shows a displacement in perpendicular direction to the force applied. d. The body masses obliquely to the direction of the force applied.
