Downward movement under the force of gravity only.
Answer:
(a) 104 N
(b) 52 N
Explanation:
Given Data
Angle of inclination of the ramp: 20°
F makes an angle of 30° with the ramp
The component of F parallel to the ramp is Fx = 90 N.
The component of F perpendicular to the ramp is Fy.
(a)
Let the +x-direction be up the incline and the +y-direction by the perpendicular to the surface of the incline.
Resolve F into its x-component from Pythagorean theorem:
Fx=Fcos30°
Solve for F:
F= Fx/cos30°
Substitute for Fx from given data:
Fx=90 N/cos30°
=104 N
(b) Resolve r into its y-component from Pythagorean theorem:
Fy = Fsin 30°
Substitute for F from part (a):
Fy = (104 N) (sin 30°)
= 52 N
Each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hits the Earth.
In a year it is very hard to determine because of the night and different light levels.
Answer:
Plants slow down water as it flows over the land and this allows much of the rain to soak into the ground. Plant roots hold the soil in position and prevent it from being blown or washed away. Plants break the impact of a raindrop before it hits the soil, reducing the soil's ability to erode.

a. 12 m/s² down
Explanation:
Acceleration has units of length per time squared. Acceleration is a vector, so it also has a direction.
