A 5.00 kg crate is on a 21.0° hill. Using X-Y axes tilted down the
plane, what is the y-component
of the weight?
(Unit = N)

17.56 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a crate, m = 5 kg

It is on a 21.0° hill

We need to find the y component of the weight.

y component = mgsinθ

Put all the values,

y-component = 5×9.8×sin(21)

= 49×sin(21)

= 17.56 N

So, the y-component of the weight is 17.56 N.

convex lenses are thicker at the middle. rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). a convex lens is a converging lens. when parallel rays of light pass through a convex lens the refracted rays converge at one point called the principal focus.
