Answer:

A. Normal force is always perpendicular to the area of contact between an object and support.

Explanation:

Normal force is defined as the contact force. If there is no contact between the surfaces, they cannot applies a force which is normal on each other. For e.g, the surfaces of a cubical box and the cart cannot applies a force of normal on each other because of no contact.

If, when there is a contact between two surfaces they applies a normal force on each other, and this force is perpendicular to the each other . This normal force is necessary to prevent object to penetrating into other.

If no friction acts on a diver during a dive, then which of the following statements is true? A) The total mechanical energy of

EleoNora [17]

If no frictional work is considered, then the energy of the system (the driver at all positions is conserved.

Let
position 1 = initial height of the diver (h₁), together with the initial velocity (v₁).
position 2 = final height of the diver (h₂) and the final velocity (v₂).

The initial PE = mgh₁ and the initial KE = (1/2)mv₁²
where g = acceleration due to gravity,
m = mass of the diver.
Similarly, the final PE and KE are respectively mgh₂ and (1/2)mv₂².
PE in position 1 is converted into KE due to the loss in height from position 1 to position 2.

Therefore
(KE + PE) ₁ = (KE + PE)₂

Evaluate the given answers.
A) The total mechanical energy of the system increases.
FALSE

B) Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy but not vice versa.
TRUE

C) (KE + PE)beginning = (KE + PE) end.
TRUE

D) All of the above.
FALSE
