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

Based on what you know of the current government, and political parties, do you feel that George Washington was correct in warni
Bess [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

His warning wasn't strong enough although he understood corruption very well.

What he was basically saying is that if the American Colonies did not rule themselves well and honestly they would go down the drain just as Athens did.

Democracy and Freedom are not words on a piece of paper. They must be lived well and attended to every day by all citizens. It is not disagreement that destroys a democracy. It is not listening carefully when someone with an opposing opinion voices it.

There has not been so much hatred in the United States since the Civil War.

Why is an understanding of the structure of Earth important ​
NeX [460]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

An understanding of the structure of the Earth is important for many reasons

1. It can help us understand things that happen on the surface, like the magnetic field. The structure of the Earth explains that.

2. Things like tectonic plates severely affect the planet, such as the creation of many natural disasters. Understanding them helps us better prepare and anticipate them.

3. Understanding the structure of the Earth can help us identify the location of important natural resources (like different metals)

4. In the production of things like geothermal energy we need to understand the Earth's structure to know where we will get the most heat
