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 magnetic field is passing through a loop of wire whose area is 0.020 m2. The direction of the magnetic field is parallel to th
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

a) E = 0.0048 Volts

b)  dA/dt = - 0.002285 m²/s

Explanation:

Given:

Area, A = 0.020 m²

Rate of change of magnetic field, dB/dt = 0.24 T/s

a) The magnitude of the emf induced (E) is given as:

  E= A × (dB/dt)

  on substituting the values in the above equation, we get

E = (0.020 m²) × (0.24 T/s)

or

E = 0.0048 Volts

b) Now, The induced emf when both the area and the magnetic field is varying

we have

E = B(dA/dt) + A(dB/dt)

Now, for the given case induced emf is zero i.e E = 0 and magnetic field B = 2.1 T

thus,

0 = (2.1 T)(dA/dt) + (0.020 m2)(0.24 T/s)

dA/dt = - 0.002285 m²/s

Hence, the area should be decreased at the rate of 0.002285 m²/s

A ball is thrown straight up from a point 2 m above the ground. The ball reaches a maximum height of 3 m above its starting poin
qwelly [4]

Answer:

2 m

Explanation:

The displacement of any body is the shortest distance in an object's path between its initial and final point.

The ball would travel 3 m from the point of throwing then fall down 5 m to the ground. The total distance traveled is 7 m.

The displacement of the ball will be the distance from the point of throwing to the ground i.e., 2 m as it is the shortest distance between the initial and final point of the ball's journey.

andrey2020 [161]
Considering that the book is moving with constant speed, the force applied by Anna must be the same that the friction force:

F = F_R = F\cdot \mu_k\cdot N

If we clear the previous equation:

\mu_k = \frac{F}{F_R} = \frac{19.5\ N}{51.7\ N} = \bf 0.38
