  12.   In physics, you can determine how much force with which an object is sliding down a frictionless incline by adding the gravitational force vector and the ''normal force'' vector. The normal force vector is always directed up out of the incline perpendicular to it (90° more than the measure of the incline). The magnitude m of the normal force can be calculated by m = f cos , where f is the gravitational force and is the angle measure of the incline. If a gravitational force (always straight down) of 50 N is being exerted on an object on a 25° incline, what is the magnitude of the force with which it is sliding down the incline?
   
    A. 21.1 N B. 93.1 N
    C. 45.3 N D. 50 N
    Hint

    C. D. y = 8 - x
    Hint

    A. 277 ft B. 250 ft
    C. 395 ft D. 139 ft
    Hint

  15.   If a quarterback throws a 30-yard pass to his receiver with an initial velocity of 21 yards per second at an angle of 15 with the horizontal, how long is the ball in the air?
