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.

All of the planets and their satellites orbit the Sun in the same direction, and all their orbits lie near the same plane. True
MissTica

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Sun rotates in the counterclockwise (CCW) direction when seen from its north pole. Since, the planets revolve around the Sun because of its gravity, the revolution of all the planets and their moons as seen from the north of the Sun is in CCW direction.

In fact most of the solar system bodies rotate in the same direction that is CCW. Some major exceptions to this are Venus and Uranus.

Almost all the planets and moons were made from the planetary disk around the Sun. Thus, they lie nearly in the same plane.

Which statement describes the kinetic energy of a particle?
worty [1.4K]
Kinetic energy has nothing to do with anything other than motion of the particle.
When a particle with velocity v collides another particle(suppose it is at rest for simplication), assuming that there is perfectly elastic collision between them, the velocity of particle which was at rest becomes mv/M ( assuming mass of particle in motion to be m and at rest to be M) from convervation of linear momentum. And all this transfer of energy happens in a fraction of seconds which is not visible to naked eyes.

Hence 1st option is correct!

A 2-kg box is pushed by a force of 4 N for 2 seconds. It has an initial velocity vo = 2 m/s to the right. NOTE: Since this probl
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Kf= 36 J

W(net) = 32 J

Explanation:

Given that

m = 2 kg

F= 4 N

t= 2 s

Initial velocity ,u= 2 m/s

We know that rate of change of linear momentum is called force.

F= dP/dt

F.t = ΔP

ΔP = Pf - Pi

ΔP = m v  - m u

v= Final velocity

By putting the values

4 x 2 = 2 ( v - 2)

8 =  2 ( v - 2)

4 = v - 2

v= 6 m/s

The final kinetic energy Kf

Kf= 1/2 m v²

Kf= 0.5 x 2 x 6²

Kf= 36 J

Initial kinetic energy Ki

Ki = 1/2 m u²

Ki= 0.5 x 2 x 2²

Ki = 4 J

We know that net work is equal to the change in kinetic energy

W(net) = Kf - Ki

W(net) = 36 - 4

W(net) = 32 J
