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.

Which of the following would illustrate a quadratic relation between the dependent and independent variables when graphed?
Kitty [74]

Answer: option A. a graph of the area of a circle vs. its radius r (A = πr²).



Explanation:



A quadratic relation between the dependent and independent variables shows the independent variable raised to the power of 2.



This is it is a polynomial with general form ax² + bx + c, whewre a, b, and c, named coeficients,  are constants.



The function is y =  ax² + bx + c, where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.



As stated in the question, the area of a circle is given by A = πr².



In this case, A is the dependent variable and r is the independent variable.



π is assumed as the coefficient of the quadratic term, and the other coefficients are assumed 0, since there are no either terms on r or constants.



The equation a = 1/b  is an inverse relation, not a quadratic relation.



The relation of distance vs. time for a car moving at constant speed is a linear relation of the kind v = u + st.



The mass of water vs. the volume of water in a drinking glass is a direct relation, mass = density × volume



Therefore, the only quadratic relation is shown by  a graph of the area of a circle vs. its radius r.

You shoot an arrow into the air. Two seconds later (2.00 s) the arrow has gone straight upward to a height of 35.0 m above its l
sdas [7]

This question can be solved by using the equations of motion.

a) The initial speed of the arrow is was "9.81 m/s".

b) It took the arrow "1.13 s" to reach a height of 17.5 m.

a)

We will use the second equation of motion to find out the initial speed of the arrow.

h= v_it + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\

where,

vi = initial speed = ?

h = height = 35 m

t = time interval = 2 s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

35\ m = (v_i)(2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)(2\ s)^2\\\\v_i(2\ s)=19.62\ m\\\\v_i = \frac{19.62\ m}{2\ s}

<u>vi =  9.81 m/s</u>

b)

To find the time taken by the arrow to reach 17.5 m, we will use the second equation of motion again.

h= v_it + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 17.5 m

vi = initial speed = 9.81 m/s

t = time = ?

Therefore,

17.5 = (9.81)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.81)t^2\\4.905t^2+9.81t-17.5=0

solving this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, we get:

t = -3.13 s (OR) t = 1.13 s

Since time can not have a negative value.

Therefore,

<u>t = 1.13 s</u>

the maximum intensity levels of a trumpet, trombone, and a bass drum, each at a distance of 3m are 94 dB, 107dB, and 113dB respe
Gwar [14]

Answer:

β = 114 db

Explanation:

The intensity of sound in decibles is

          β = 10 log \frac{I}{I_{o}}

in most cases Io is the hearing threshold 1 10-12 W / cm²

let's calculate the intensity of each instrument

            I / I₀ = 10 (β / 10)

            I = I₀ 10 (β / 10)

trumpet

            I1 = 1 10⁻¹² 10 (94/10)

            I1 = 2.51 10⁻³ / cm²

Thrombus

           I2 = 1 10⁻¹² 10 (107/10)

           I2 = 5.01 10-2 W / cm²

low

           I3 =1 1-12    (113/10) W/cm²

            I3 = 1,995 10-1 W / cm²

when we place the three instruments together their sounds reinforce

           I_total = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

           I_ttoal = 2.51 10-3 + 5.01 10-2 + ​​1.995 10-1

           I_total = 0.00251 + 0.0501 + 0.1995

           I_total = 0.25211 W / cm²

let's bring this amount to the SI system

         β = 10 log (0.25211 / 1 10⁻¹²)

           β = 114 db

In an internal combustion engine, heat flow into a gas causes it to <br> .
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Along path BC of the Otto cycle, heat transfer Qh into the gas occurs at constant volume, causing a further increase in pressure and temperature. This process corresponds to burning fuel in an internal combustion engine, and takes place so rapidly that the volume is nearly constant.
