Mercury is very harmful to the average human being. the mercury can easily be released from the lamp if the lamp is knocked over and broken. mercury is also harmful if inhaled. sodium on the other hand is not harmful in any way.
Power is the rate of energy. Mathematically, it is
Power (p) = Energy(E) / Time(t)
Hope this helps!
I am pretty sure the answer to your question is B
Answer:
U₂ = 20 J
KE₂ = 40 J
v= 12.64 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
H= 12 m
m = 0.5 kg
h= 4 m
The potential energy at position 1
U₁ = m g H
U₁ = 0.5 x 10 x 12 ( take g= 10 m/s²)
U₁ = 60 J
The potential energy at position 2
U₂ = m g h
U ₂= 0.5 x 10 x 4 ( take g= 10 m/s²)
U₂ = 20 J
The kinetic energy at position 1
KE= 0
The kinetic energy at position 2
KE= 1/2 m V²
From energy conservation
U₁+KE₁=U₂+KE₂
By putting the values
60 - 20 = KE₂
KE₂ = 40 J
lets take final velocity is v m/s
KE₂= 1/2 m v²
By putting the values
40 = 1/2 x 0.5 x v²
160 = v²
v= 12.64 m/s
