Answer:

1.708*10^6 tons.

Explanation:

Number of Aluminum cans used by 1 person in 1 year = 365/2=182.5 say it as 183 cans per year.

Total number of people in US= 280,000,000

Total number of cans used by americans.

= 5.12×10^10 cans

Weight of 1 can =1/15 pounds

Weight of all cans used in 1 year

= \frac{5.12*10^10}{15} =3.41*10^9pounds.

we know that

1ton=2000pounds.

\frac{3.41*10^9 pounds}{2000} = 1.708*10^6 tons.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Displacement is 565.69 m at 45° west of north

Explanation:

Let north represent positive y axis and east represent positive x axis.

We have journey started from 600 N. Michigan Avenue, and walked 3 blocks toward north, 4 blocks toward west, and 1 block toward north to a train station.

3 blocks toward north = 300 j m

4 blocks toward west = -400 i m

1 blocks toward north = 100 j m

Total displacement = -400 i + 400 j m

Magnitude

     s=\sqrt{(-400)^2+400^2}=565.69m

Direction,

     \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{400}{-400}\right )=135^0

     Direction is 45° west of north.

Displacement is 565.69 m at 45° west of north
