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.

When temperature decreases but actual water vapor content remains the same, what happens to relative humidity?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

d. Relative humidity increases.

Explanation:

The expression of relative humidity in terms of absolute humidity, absolute pressure and saturation pression at measured temperature is:

\phi = \frac{\omega \cdot P}{(0.622+\omega)\cdot P_{sat}}

When temperature decreases, the saturation pressure decreases also and, consequently, relative humidity increases. Therefore, the right answer is option D.

In an eslastic ,the momentum is_______and the mechanical energy is​
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

In an elastic collision, the momentum is conserved and the mechanical energy is conserved too.

Explanation:

There are two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: in an elastic collision, the total momentum before and after the collision is conserved; also, the total mechanical energy before and after the collision is conserved.

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum before and after the colllision is conserved, while the total mechanical energy is not conserved (in fact, part of the energy is converted into other forms of energy such that thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces)

A motorcycle rider moving with an initial velocity of 9.2 m/s uniformly accelerates to a speed of 19.1 m/s in a distance of 32.0
Vlada [557]
Acceleration = (final velocity^2 - initial velocity^2) / 2 * distance

Acceleration = (19.1^2 - 9.2^2) / 2 * 32

Acceleration = (364.81 - 84.64) / 64

Acceleration = 280.17 / 64

Acceleration = 4.3777m/s^2
