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.

Why is energy required to get an object moving?
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

this is what popped up when I searched it up:In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.

A 5 kg ball of clay is moving with a speed of 25 m/s directly toward a 10 kg ball of clay which is at rest. The two clay balls c
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

8.3m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

mass of clay ball  = 5kg

Speed of clay ball  = 25m/s

mass of clay ball at rest  = 10kg

speed of clay ball at rest  = 0m/s

Unknown:

Velocity after collision  = ?

Solution:

 Since the balls stick together, this is an inelastic collision:

   m1v1 + m2v2  = v(m1 + m2)

  5(25) + 10(0)  =  v (5 + 10)

         125 = 15v

           v  = 8.3m/s

which one of these represent total momentum of a system of two particles traveling one against the other?
antoniya [11.8K]

The total momentum of a system is the vector sum of all the individual masses that comprise the system.

Moreover, To calculate the total momentum of two objects during a collision, add their individual momentums. You can calculate the momentum for each object using the formula p=mv, where p is the momentum, m is the mass, and v is the velocity. The law of conservation of momentum can be expressed as follows. For a collision between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.
