Answer:

The material cost for making one ton of the brass sample that I have is $8149.04.

Explanation:

Density of copper = 8.96 g/cm^3 = 8.96×10^-3 kg/cm^3

Price of copper = $6.13/kg

Price of copper per volume = 8.96×10^-3 kg/cm^3 × $6.13/kg = $0.0549/cm^3

Density of zinc = 7.14 g/cm^3 = 7.14×10^-3 kg/cm^3

Price of zinc = $1.8/kg

Price of zinc per volume = 7.14×10^-3 kg/cm^3 × $1.8/kg = $0.0129/cm^3

Price of brass per volume = 0.0549 + 0.0129 = $0.0678/cm^3

Density of brass I have is 8.32 g/cm^3 = 8.32 g/cm^3 × 1 kg/1000 g × 1 ton/1000 kg = 8.32×10^-6 ton/cm^3

Price = $0.0678/cm^3 ÷ 8.32×10^-6 ton/cm^3 = $8149.04/ton

Answer:

  The Price of making 1 Ton of Brass is  =  $4180.4

Explanation:

Generally density of an alloy is mathematically represented as

              Z = \sum A *\rho

  Where Z is the Average density of an alloy

               A is the fraction of metal

               \rho is the density of metal

From the question we are told that  brass  is an alloy made of copper and zinc

 Let assume that the percentage of copper in Brass is y%

   The the percentage of the zinc would be  (100 - y )%

   Substituting this into the formula

                8.32 g/cm^3 =\frac{y}{100} * 8.96 + \frac{(100 -x)}{100} * 7.14

=>              832 = 8.96y  + 714 - 7.14y

=>             8.96y - 7.14y = 832-714

=>              1.82y = 118

=>                    y = \frac{118}{1.82} = 64.84%

    This implies that the percentage of copper in Brass is 64.84%

        This mean that the percentage of zinc in Brass is (100- 64.84) = 35.16%

   Generally One Ton of Brass =  907.185Kg

So amount of copper in this is

                   = \frac{64.84}{100} * 907.185 = 588.29 Kg

And the price would be   = 588.29 * 6.13 = $3606

And the amount of zinc is  = \frac{35.16}{100} * 907.185 =318.97Kg

And the price would be   = 318.97 * 1.80= $574.146        

  The Price of making 1 Ton of Brass is  = 3606 + 574.146 = $4180.4

A string under a tension of 50.4 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 2.51 m at a speed of 21.1 m/s. The s
Leokris [45]

Answer:

619.8 N

Explanation:

The tension in the string provides the centripetal force that keeps the rock in circular motion, so we can write:

T=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

T is the tension

m is the mass of the rock

v is the speed

r is the radius of the circular path

At the beginning,

T = 50.4 N

v = 21.1 m/s

r = 2.51 m

So we can use the equation to find the mass of the rock:

m=\frac{Tr}{v^2}=\frac{(50.4)(2.51)}{21.1^2}=0.284 kg

Later, the radius of the string is decreased to

r' = 1.22 m

While the speed is increased to

v' = 51.6 m/s

Substituting these new data into the equation, we find the tension at which the string breaks:

T'=m\frac{v'^2}{r'}=(0.284)\frac{(51.6)^2}{1.22}=619.8 N

How are types of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum defined?
Drupady [299]
It is defined by their wavelength. Different colors have different wavelengths. For example, radio waves have a really long wavelength, whereas gamma-rays have a very short wavelength.

miss Akunina [59]
The total work done by the electric field on the charge is given by the scalar product between the electric force acting on the charge and the displacement of the charge:
W=F d cos \theta
where the force is F=qE, d=0.556 and \theta=55.2^{\circ}. Using the value of q and E given by the problem, we find
W=qEdcos\theta = 6.39\cdot10^{-5}J

il63 [147K]

Answer:

The opponent-process theory

Explanation:

The opponent process theory is based on the human visual system and according to the theory the interpretation of the color is done by the photo-receptors rods and cones in the human eye.

This theory states that the perception of color is governed by the two opponent system which includes - a red-green, a blue-yellow and a black-white mechanism.

Any activity in one of these restricts the activity in the other.
