Tasya [4]

Answer:1.04 N

Explanation:

Given

Gravitational Force on the Platter is 5 N

Tray makes an angle of \theta =12^{\circ}

This gravitational Force has components along and Perpendicular to Platter

Perpendicular Force W_p=W\cos \theta

W_p=5\times \cos 12=4.89 N

Along the Tray

W_{along}=W\sin \theta

W_{along}=5\times \sin 12=1.04 N

Thus 1.04 N is the magnitude of force that will cause Platter to slide down

Challenge! A marshmallow is dropped from a 5-meter high pedestrian bridge and 0.83 seconds later, it lands right on the head of
WINSTONCH [101]

a₀).  You know ...
         -- the object is dropped from 5 meters
             above the pavement;
         --  it falls for 0.83 second.

a₁).  Without being told, you assume ...
         -- there is no air anyplace where the marshmallow travels,
             so it free-falls, with no air resistance;
         -- the event is happening on Earth,
            where the acceleration of gravity is  9.81 m/s² .

b).  You need to find how much LESS than 5 meters
       the marshmallow falls in 0.83 second.
    
c).  You can use whatever equations you like.
       I'm going to use the equation for the distance an object falls in
       ' T ' seconds, in a place where the acceleration of gravity is ' G '.

d).  To see how this all goes together for the solution, keep reading:


The distance that an object falls in ' T ' seconds
when it's dropped from rest is

                                 (1/2 G) x (T²) .

On Earth, ' G ' is roughly  9.81 m/s², so in 0.83 seconds,
such an object would fall

                               (9.81 / 2) x (0.83)² = 3.38 meters .

It dropped from 5 meters above the pavement, but it
only fell 3.38 meters before something stopped it.
So it must have hit something that was

                         (5.00 - 3.38)  =  1.62 meters

above the pavement.  That's where the head of the unsuspecting
person was as he innocently walked by and got clobbered.

Katyanochek1 [597]
When a perfume bottle is opened, some liquid changes to gas and the fragrance spreads around the room because gases do not have a definite volume.
