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 boy in a wheelchair (total mass 54.5 kg) has speed 1.40 m/s at the crest of a slope 2.10 m high and 12.4 m long. At the bottom
babymother [125]

Answer:

630.75 j

Explanation:

from the question we have the following

total mass (m) = 54.5 kg

initial speed (Vi) = 1.4 m/s

final speed (Vf) = 6.6 m/s

frictional force (FF) = 41 N

height of slope (h) = 2.1 m

length of slope (d) = 12.4 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

work done (wd) = ?

  • we can calculate the work done by the boy in pushing the chair using the law of law of conservation of energy

wd + mgh = (0.5 mVf^2) - (0.5 mVi^2) + (FF x  d)

wd = (0.5 mVf^2) - (0.5 mVi^2) + (FF x  d) - (mgh)

where wd = work done

m = mass

h = height

g = acceleration due to gravity

FF = frictional force

d = distance

Vf and Vi = final and initial velocity

wd =  (0.5 x 54.5 x 6.9^2) - (0.5 x 54.5 x 1.4^2) + (41 x 12.4) - (54.5 X 9.8 X 2.1)            

wd = 630.75 j

To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a _____ scale or _____ scale.
allsm [11]
To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a Richter scale or Mercalli scale. Richter scale uses the amplitued of the wave and the distance from the source. Mercalli scale uses observations of people and is not considered to be scientific as Richter scale.

The radial velocity method preferentially detects: Choose one: A. all of the above described planets equally well. B. small plan
Zina [86]

The radial velocity method preferentially detects large planets close to the central star

  • what is the Radial velocity:

The radial velocity technique is able to detect planets around low-mass stars, such as M-type (red dwarf) stars.

This is due to the fact that low mass stars are more affected by the gravitational tug of planets.

When a planet orbits around a star, the star wobbles a little.

From this, we can determine the mass of the planet and its distance from the star.

hence we can say that,

option D is correct.

The radial velocity method preferentially detects large planets close to the central star
