Answer:
Explanation:
Newton's third law says that for every force, there is an equal and opposite force: for an object on a non-inclined plane, the force of gravity is straight down and the normal force is straight up.
(For non-inclined planes, FN=−(cos(θ)∗mg) still works, just use 0∘ for your θ as the cosine of 0∘ is 1.)
In non-mathematical terms, the normal force is what keeps us from sinking into the ground: we experience the force of gravity and yet we aren't sucked into the Earth's crust. Why? Because the object we stand upon provides an equal but opposite force on our feet.
This principle still applies to objects on an inclined plane. As the angle of the plane increases, the force of gravity is divided. Gravity causes the object to travel downward and horizontally along the plane's surface. The normal force must still counteract the downward portion of gravity, but will be less than the total gravitational force since the object is sliding horizontally. This requires us to use the cosine term to reduce the total normal force. Eventually, if the angle of incline increases enough, we would be taking cos(90o), which is zero; if the object is in free fall (the plane is vertical), then there is no normal force.

pls mark as brainliest answer and Pls pls follow me...
and hit the thanks button too pls
Explanation:
Normal force always acts perpendicular to the contact surface. It can act counter to gravity or to any other force that pushes an object against a surface. Think of normal force as the force that keeps a surface solid; without normal force, an object would pass right through a surface.
