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 rock is thrown downward from an unknown height above the ground with an initial speed of 6.1 m/s. It strikes the ground 1.7 s

insens350 [35]

Answer:

24.531 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 1.7 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.1 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=6.1\times 1.7+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.7^2\\\Rightarrow s=24.531\ m$

The initial height of the rock above the ground is 24.531 m

In the photoelectric effect, a photon with an energy of 5.3 × 10–19 J strikes an electron in a metal. Of this energy, 3.6 × 10–1

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The velocity of the photo electron is $6.11\times 10^5\ m/s$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Supplied energy, $E_s=5.3\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Minimum energy of the electron to escape from the metal, $E_e=3.6\times 10^{-19}\ J$

We need to find the velocity of the photo electron. The energy supplied by the photon is equal to the sum of minimum escape energy and the kinetic energy of the escaping electron. So,

$5.3\times 10^{-19}\ J=3.6\times 10^{-19}\ J+K\\\\K=5.3\times 10^{-19}-3.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\K=1.7\times 10^{-19}\ J$

The formula of kinetic energy is given by :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2K}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.7\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}} \\\\v=6.11\times 10^5\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the photo electron is $6.11\times 10^5\ m/s$ .

To determine the height of a tall building such as Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois a ball was dropped from the top of the build

Darya [45]

Answer:

The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 feet.

Explanation:

<h3>We apply the free fall formula to the ball: </h3><h3> $y=v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}$ </h3><h3>y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t </h3><h3> $v_{o}$ i: Initial speed </h3><h3>g=Gravity acceleration= $9.8*(\frac{\frac{1ft}{0.305m} }{s^{2} } )$ </h3>

Known information

We know that the vertical distance (y) that the ball moves in 9,5s is equal to height of Sears Tower (h).

Too we know that the ball is released from rest, then, $v_{0}$ =0

Height of Sears Tower calculation:

We replace in the equation 1 the data following;

$y=h$

$v_{o} =0$

$g=32,1\frac{ft}{s^{2} }$

$t= 9,5s$

$h=0*9.5+\frac{1}{2} *32.1*9.5^{2}$

$h=1448.5 ft$

Answer: The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 ft

a certain projetor uses a concave mirror for projecting an object's image on a screen .it produces on image that is 4 times bigg

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

f = 1 m

Explanation:

The magnification of the lens is given by the formula:

$M = \frac{q}{p}$

where,

M = Magnification = 4

q = image distance = 5 m

p = object distance = ?

Therefore,

$4 = \frac{5\ m}{p}\\\\p = \frac{5\ m}{4}\\\\p = 1.25\ m$

Now using thin lens formula:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{1.25\ m}+\frac{1}{5\ m}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = 1\ m^{-1}\\\\$

<u>f = 1 m</u>
