The free body diagram consists of:

1) Weight force, which is a vertical arrow downward

2) A Normal force that is perpendicular to the ramp.

The Normal force can be decomposed in a vertical component and an horizontal component.

The vertical component, Ny,  must equal the weight force, due to equilibrium (rest) condiition =>

Ny = weight = m*g = 5.5kg*9.8m/s^2 = 53.9 N

By geometry the vertical component of the Normal force, Ny is such that

cos (angle) = N / Ny => N = Ny * cos(angle)

=> N = 53.9N * cos(angle)

Now use that equation for each option:

a) 0 ° => N = 53.9N * cos(0) = 53.9N

b) 12° => N = 53.9 * cos(12) = 52.7N

c) 25° => N = 53.9 * cos(25) = 48.9N

d) 45° => N = 53.9 * cos(45) = 38.1N

Describe Staten Island, its history, its geography, the place today, problems happening there. Everything helps!
Mamont248 [21]
Staten Island is among the boroughs of New York City, dwelled in the southwestward portion of the town. Staten Island remains the Southern portion of New York, including Organization Residence Park near the south point of the archipelago including the state. This area is isolated from New Jersey. A 2014 Statistics predicted group of 473,279, Staten Island is the slightest populated of the five boroughs although is the third plentiful within the area of 59 square miies. 

Staten Island is commensurate with Richmond County, and till 1975 this Staten Island was authoritatively nominated as the Borough of Richmond. The banner was later modified to display this but still the conventional sticker was kept constant. Staten Island was seldom termed "the abandoned area" by citizens that appeared undervalued by the municipality administration.

Which statement about passive solar heating systems is true?
Aliun [14]

D. They do not produce electricity.

Passive solar heating is a technique where the sun's energy is used for heating spaces. It does not generate electricity but can save substantial electricity by making use of thermal mass. Materials that have a high density such as concrete and bricks absorb and store electricity. Along with operable windows and thermal chimneys,  thermal mass is being utilized to take advantage of sun exposure.
