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 represents a fully plastic collision? 1. Two billiard balls hit each other then move in opposite directio
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

Perfectly elastic collision: the collision in which the momentum and kinetic energy is conserved. There is no loss of energy in other forms of energy.

Perfectly plastic collision: The collision in which the momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved. The two bodies stick after the collision.

Here, the bullet hits the block and then embedded in the block, it is the example of plastic collision.

A 50 kg rock climber accidentally falls from the side of a rock and freefalls until she is stopped by her 9 m saftey rope. Assum
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

a) 665 kg.m/s

b) 2.97 kN

Explanation:

The impulse is given by:

J=\Delta p\\J=m(v_a-v_b)

where

va=velocity after

vb=velocity before

The velocity just before is given by:

v_b=\sqrt{2*9.81m/s^2*9m}=13.3m/s(-\hat{j})

The velocity just after is zero because there wasn't a rebound.

So the impulse is:

J=50kg*(0-13.3m/s(-\hat{j}))\\J=50kg*(0+13.3m/s(\hat{j}))=665kg.m/s

The impulse is also given by:

J=\Delta p=F* \Delta t\\so:\\F=\frac{J}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\frac{665kg.m/s}{0.224s}=2.97kN
