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.

A body moves in a straight line. At time, it's acceleration is given by a = 12t + 1. When t =0, the velocity of the body v is 2
madreJ [45]

Answer:

v = 6t² + t + 2, s = 2t³ + ½ t² + 2t

59 m/s, 64.5 m

Explanation:

a = 12t + 1

v = ∫ a dt

v = 6t² + t + C

At t = 0, v = 2.

2 = 6(0)² + (0) + C

2 = C

Therefore, v = 6t² + t + 2.

s = ∫ v dt

s = 2t³ + ½ t² + 2t + C

At t = 0, s = 0.

0 = 2(0)³ + ½ (0)² + 2(0) + C

0 = C

Therefore, s = 2t³ + ½ t² + 2t.

At t = 3:

v = 6(3)² + (3) + 2 = 59

s = 2(3)³ + ½ (3)² + 2(3) = 64.5
