Answer:

 #_bills = 2.59 10⁸  Bills

Explanation:

For this exercise we must calculate the length of the Earth's circle

        L = 2π r

Let's reduce to the SI system

        r = 6.40 10³ km (1000m / 1km) = 6.40 10⁶ m

        d = 15.5 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.155 m

        L = 2π 6.40 10⁶

        L = 40.21 10⁶ m

now we can use a direct rule of proportions (rule of three). If 1 bill has d = 0.155, how much bill will have L

       #_bills = 1 L / d

       #_bills = 1 40.21 10⁶6 / 0.155

       #_bills = 2.59 10⁸  Bills

the total number of bills is  2.6 10⁸ bills

An aluminum cup of 150 cm3 capacity is completely filled with glycerin at 23°C. How much glycerin will spill out of the cup if t
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1.19cm^3 of glycerine

Explanation:

Let Vo= 150cm^3 for both aluminum and glycerine, using expansion formula:

Volume of spill glycerine = change in volume of glycerine - change in volume of aluminum

Volume of glycerine = coefficient of volume expansion of glycerine * Vo* change in temperature - coefficient of volume expansion of Aluminum*Vo* change temperature

coefficient of volume expansion of aluminum = coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum*3 = 23*10^-6 * 3 = 0.69*10^-4 oC^-1

Change in temperature = 41-23 = 18oC

Volume of glycerine that spill = (5.1*10^-4) - (0.69*10^-4) (150*18) = 4.41*10^-4*2700 = 1.19cm3

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to what?
katrin [286]

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to the lack of materials or equipment that would convert work by 100%. It follows the second law of entropy. The ideal engine is known as Carnot’s engine having a 100% efficiency. So far, no engine has ever gotten to 100%.
