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.

Your friend decides to generate electrical power by rotating a 100,000 turn coil of wire around an axis in the plane of the coil
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

a) I=35mA

b) P=1.73W

Explanation:

a) The max emf obtained in a rotating coil of N turns is given by:

emf_{max}=NBA\omega

where N is the number of turns in the coil, B is the magnitude of the magnetic field, A is the area and w is the angular velocity of the coil.

By calculating A and replacing in the formula (1G=10^{-4}T) we get:

A=\pi r^2 =\pi(0.23m)^2=0.16m^2

emf_{max}=(100000)(0.3*10^{-4}T)(0.166m^2)(140\frac{rev}{s})=69.72V

Finally, the peak current is given by:

I=\frac{emf}{R}=\frac{69.72V}{1400\Omega}=49.8mA

b)

we have that

I_{rms}=\frac{I}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{0.0498A}{\sqrt{2}}=0.035A

P_{rms}=I^2{rms}R=(0.035A)^2(1400\Omega)=1.73W

hope this helps!!

Which best describes the law of conservation of mass? The coefficients in front of the chemicals in the reactants should be base
likoan [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. when both sides of the reactants and the products are equal

like h+oh ⇒ h20

hydrogen has 2 atoms on both sides and oxygen  has one  on both sides

2. no they are put to balance the equation

3. nope they are treated equally as all the other states

4. no if u are talking about a formula unit like NaCl for example it is aqueous not each element taken on its own if u are talking about just elements then i said before all states are treated equally

5. yup
