Answer:

$900 trillion

Explanation:

If Alaska is 20% of the contiguous US, then the approximate area of interest is ...

1200 miles × 3000 miles = 3.6×10^6 square miles.

The size of a dollar bill is about ...

(6.5 cm)·(15.5 cm) = 100.75 cm^2

One mile is 160,934.4 cm, so 1 square mile is about ...

1 mi^2 = (160,934.4 cm)^2 ≈ 2.59·10^10 cm^2

The number of dollars of interest is then ...

(3.6 · 10^6 mi^2)(2.59 · 10^10 cm^2)/(100.75 cm^2) ≈ 9.3·10^14

≈ 930 × 10^12 . . . dollars

It would cost about 900 trillion dollars to cover the land area of the US in $1 bills.

An astronaut lands on a new, recently discovered planet in a different star system. The astronaut measures the acceleration due

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The radius of the new planet is ~2.04 * 10⁶ m, or 2,041,752 m.

Explanation:

We can use Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

$\displaystyle F_g=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

Let's look at Newton's 2nd Law:

$F=ma$

We can set these equations equal to each other:

$\displaystyle G\frac{Mm}{r^2} =ma$

The mass of the second mass (astronaut) cancels out. We are left with:

$\displaystyle G\frac{M}{r^2} =a$

We are solving for the radius of the new planet, so we can rearrange the equation:

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{a} }$

Substitute in our known values given in the problem (G = 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ ; M = 7.5 * 10²³ ; a = 12).

$\displaystyle r =\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(7.5 \times 10^{23}}{12} }$
$r=2.04 \times 10^6$

The radius of the new planet is ~2.04 * 10⁶ m.

A certain heat engine takes in 300 J of energy from a hot source and then transfers 200 J of that energy to a colder object. Wha

Greeley [361]

Answer:

The efficiency is 0.33, or 33%.

Explanation:

From the thermodynamics equations, we know that the formula for the efficiency of a heat engine is:

$\eta=1-\frac{Q_2}{Q_1}$

Where η is the efficiency of the engine, Q_1 is the heat energy taken from the hot source and Q_2 is the heat energy given to the cold object. So, plugging the given values in the formula, we obtain:

$\eta=1-\frac{200J}{300J}=0.33$

This means that the efficiency of the heat engine is 0.33, or 33% (The efficiency of an engine is dimensionless).

Wellness

Wellness refers to a healthy state of being in body, mind, and emotion.

Body wellness

means eating right, exercising, and keeping your bodily systems in good health.

Mental wellness

means feeling safe and secure in your environment and at peace with your decisions and actions.

Emotional wellness

means feeling your best and having the ability to deal with many different situations.

Wellness: Setting Goals

The first step to setting a goal is defining it. Keep in mind that not everything you wish for can be a goal. When it comes to physical activity, diet, and exercise, you may wish to run a marathon before the end of the school year. However, this goal could be difficult to achieve if school ends in just a few months and you are not already training. A more reasonable goal might be to be able to run a mile in the amount of time considered healthy for your age group.

Importance of Physical Education

Physical education explores the methods, types, and benefits of physical activity for the body. In addition to staying active, making healthy choices about diet and exercise is important to overall personal and long-term health. Long-term health passed down through generations can also promote healthy family lifestyles.

Fitness

is the ability of the body to function effectively and efficiently during physical activity and is the ability to move joints through an entire range of motion.

Physical exercise

is the act of improving one's body through specific intentional movements.

differences between exercise and fitness

while anyone can exercise, only someone who exercises regularly can be fit.

Why is it important to make healthy choices about your diet and exercise?

Choosing healthy behaviors when it comes to diet and exercise is important to personal health, long-term health, and promoting healthy family lifestyles.

five components of physical education:

-Cardiorespiratory endurance

-Muscular strength

-Muscular endurance

-Flexibility

-Body composition
