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.

Design a battery to be constructed of D-cells, rated at 3Amp-hours and voltage 1.5V, that will provide a maximum operating curre
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

9 hours

Explanation:

For each battery:

Current = 1 A

Voltage = 1.5 V

current and EMF required = 5.0 A and 4.5 V

Since each battery has a current of 1 A, we'll need to link five of them in parallel with our load to get a current of 5 A. so that the total current equals 5 amps . Now that each battery has a 1.5 V voltage drop and we require an emf of 4.5 V, we would use three batteries in series rather than a single battery.  So, there is a need to must substitute every single battery with three batteries in series for all five single batteries linked in parallel.

So, the total no. of batteries is

= 5 × 3 = 15 batteries.

On each battery, the charge is = 3 amp hours

∴

The total charge = 15 × 3 = 45 amp hours.

Since the charge transferred within 1 hour = 5 amp

Then, the required lifetime of the battery is:

= 45 amp-hours/ 5 amp

= 9 hours

An asteroid of mass 5.7×104 kg carrying a negative charge of 14.0 μC is 190 m from a second asteroid of mass 5.5×104 kg carrying
Finger [1]

Answer:

repulsion force es  R = 5,224 10⁻³ N

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law to add forces, the elective force is repulsive because the asteroids have the same type of charge and gravitational force is always attractive.

Gravitational force

      Fg = G m1 m2 / r²

      Fg = 6,673 10⁻¹¹ 5.7 10⁴ 5.5 10⁴/190²

      Fg = 5,795 10⁻⁶ N

Electric force

     Fe = k q1 q2 / r²

     Fe = 8.99 10⁹ 14.0 10⁻⁶ 15.0 10⁻⁶ / 190²

     Fe = 5.2296 10⁻³ N

The resulting force is

     R = Fe - Fg

     R = 5.2296 10⁻³ - 5.795 10⁻⁶=  5229.6 10⁻⁶ - 5,795 10⁻⁶

     R = 5,224 10⁻³ N

this is a repulsive force and the asteroids move away from each other

The mass of a cm3(cube) stone is 180.
ss7ja [257]

 Density = (mass) / (volume), no matter how large or small the sample is.

We can't calculate the density, because you left out the number for the volume.
Also, you didn't tell us the unit for the mass of 180.

a).  If the mass is 180 grams, then the density is 

                               (180 gm) / (volume) .

b).  No matter how many pieces you crush it into, and
no matter how large or small a piece is, its density is
the same.  (I just wish we knew what the density really is.)

c).  A piece may have 80 grams of mass.  It doesn't "weigh" 80 grams.

Since the density of the whole rock is  (180 gm) / (volume),
the density of any piece of it is  (180 gm) / (volume).

Multiply each side by (volume):   (Density) x (volume) = 180 gm

Divide each side by (density):        Volume = (180 gm) / (density)

We can't calculate the volume of an 80-gm piece, because
we don't know the density.  (That's because you left the volume
out of the question.)
