M = 40 Kg , g=9.8 m/s² , h = 2 m

PE = m g h

PE = (40) (9.8) (2)

PE = 784 J

KE = PE

½m v² = m g h

½ v² = g h

½ v² = (9.8) (2)

½ v² = 19.6

v² = 19.6×2

v² = 39.2

V = √39.2

V = 6.26 m/s

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½(40) (6.26)²

KE =783.8 J

The work done is equal to the change in potential energy which is:
P.E = mgh
P.E = 500 x 9.81 x 15
P.E = 73,575 J

Power = work / time
Power = 73,575 / 20
Power = 3,700 Watts

Please hurry Describe why electric currents can be dangerous
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Cardiac Arrest, burns, and nerve damage.

Explanation:

Basically, the main risk is cardiac arrest, caused by the electric current interfering with the normal operation of the heart muscle. Other possible damages are burns due to the electric energy vaporizing the water inside the cells, and nerve damage caused by excessive current through the nerves.
