As long as it sits on the shelf, its potential energy
relative to the floor is . . .

   Potential energy =      (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =

                                       (3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.8m) = <u>23.52 joules</u> .

If it falls from the shelf and lands on the floor, then it has exactly that
same amount of energy when it hits the floor, only now the 23.52 joules
has changed to kinetic energy.

   Kinetic energy =                                          (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

                                                 23.52 joules = (1/2) x (3 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by  1.5 kg :     23.52 m²/s² = speed²

Take the square root of each side:    speed = √(23.52 m²/s²) =  <em>4.85 m/s </em> (rounded)

<span>3.36x10^5 Pascals The ideal gas law is PV=nRT where P = Pressure V = Volume n = number of moles of gas particles R = Ideal gas constant T = Absolute temperature Since n and R will remain constant, let's divide both sides of the equation by T, getting PV=nRT PV/T=nR Since the initial value of PV/T will be equal to the final value of PV/T let's set them equal to each other with the equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 where P1, V1, T1 = Initial pressure, volume, temperature P2, V2, T2 = Final pressure, volume, temperature Now convert the temperatures to absolute temperature by adding 273.15 to both of them. T1 = 27 + 273.15 = 300.15 T2 = 157 + 273.15 = 430.15 Substitute the known values into the equation 1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48/430.15 And solve for P2 1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48/430.15 430.15 * 1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48 64522500*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48 48391875/300.15 = P2*0.48 161225.6372 = P2*0.48 161225.6372/0.48 = P2 335886.7441 = P2 Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 3.36x10^5 Pascals. (technically, I should round to 2 significant figures for the result of 3.4x10^5 Pascals, but given the precision of the volumes, I suspect that the extra 0 in the initial pressure was accidentally omitted. It should have been 1.50e5 instead of 1.5e5).</span>

How many million Christmas trees were sold in the year 2000?
Sergio039 [100]

Explanation:

Christmas tree production occurs worldwide on Christmas tree farms, in artificial tree factories and from native strands of pine and fir trees. Christmas trees, pine and fir trees purposely grown for use as a Christmas tree, are grown on plantations in many western nations, including Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. In Australia, the industry is relatively new, and nations such as the United States, Germany and Canada are among world leaders in annual production.

Great Britain consumes about 8 million trees annually, while in the United States between 35 and 40 million trees are sold during the Christmas season. Artificial Christmas trees are mostly produced in the Pearl River delta area of China. Christmas tree prices were described using a Hotelling-Faustmann model in 2001, the study showed that Christmas tree prices declined with age and demonstrated why more farmers do not price their trees by the foot. In 1993, economists made the first known demand elasticity estimates for the natural Christmas tree market.
