Answer:

20 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of aquarium = 40 kg

Acceleration (a) = 0.50 m/s²

Force (F) =?

Force is simply defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a)

F = m × a

With the above, we can obtain the force needed to slide the aquarium as follow:

Mass (m) of aquarium = 40 kg

Acceleration (a) = 0.50 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = m × a

F = 40 × 0.5

F = 20 N

Therefore, a force of 20 N is needed to slide the aquarium.

-BARSIC- [3]
<h2>The force experienced is 8 x 10⁻¹⁸ N</h2>

Explanation:

When any charge moves into the magnetic field , it experiences the force

The force can be calculated by the relation F = q v B sinθ

here q is the charge and v is its velocity .

B is magnetic field strength and θ is the angle between field and velocity vectors .

Thus F = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 200 x 0.5 x  sin 30

=  8 x 10⁻¹⁸ N

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
