How much would it cost to cover the entire land area of United States with dollar bills? To answer this question, you may find t

he following information useful: The contiguous United States (all of the states minus Alaska and Hawaii) can be approximated as a rectangle that measures 1000 miles north to south and 3000 miles east to west, while Alaska has about one-fifth the area of the contiguous states and Hawaii is small enough to be ignored for this rough calculation. Also, note that a dollar bill measures around 6.5cm×15.5cm6.5cm×15.5cm.

Answer:

It would cost approximately $925,455,484 million to cover continental US and Alaska with $1 bills.

Explanation:

the area of a one dollar bill = 6.5 cm x 15.5 cm = 100.75 sq cm

the approximate area of continental US + Alaska = (1,000 miles x 3,000 miles) x 1.2 = 3,600,000 sq miles

each sq mile is roughly 2.58999 sq km, so the total area in sq km = 9,323,964 sq km

1 sq km = 1,000,000 sq meters

each sq meter = 10,000 sq cm

1 sq m = 10,000 / 100.75 = 99.25558 bills

1 sq km = 99,255,583.13 bills

9,323,964 sq km = 925,455,483,900,000 bills

Consider a plywood square mounted on an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the square and passes through the center of t
belka [17]

Answer:

T= 8.061N*m

Explanation:

The first thing to do is assume that the force is tangential to the square, so the torque is calculated as:

T = Fr

where F is the force, r the radius.

if we need the maximum torque we need the maximum radius, it means tha the radius is going to be the edge of the square.

Then, r is the distance between the edge and the center, so using the pythagorean theorem, r i equal to:

r = \sqrt{(0.38m)^2+(0.38m)^2}

r = 0.5374m

Finally, replacing the value of r and F, we get that the maximun torque is:

T = 15N(0.5374m)

T= 8.061N*m

A 0.5 m diameter wagon wheel consists of a thin rim having a mass of 7 kg and six spokes, each with a mass of 1.2 kg. 1.2 kg 7 k
Arte-miy333 [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the rim of wheel, m₁ = 7 kg

Mass of one spoke, m₂ = 1.2 kg

Diameter of the wagon, d = 0.5 m

Radius of the wagon, r = 0.25 m

Let I is the the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis.

We know that the moment of inertia of the ring is given by :

I_1=m_1r^2

I_1=7\times (0.25)^2=0.437\ kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the rod about one end is given by :

I_2=\dfrac{m_2l^2}{3}

l = r

I_2=\dfrac{m_2r^2}{3}

I_2=\dfrac{1.2\times (0.25)^2}{3}=0.025\ kgm^2

For 6 spokes, I_2=0.025\times 6=0.15\ kgm^2

So, the net moment of inertia of the wagon is :

I=I_1+I_2

I=0.437+0.15=0.587\ kgm^2

So, the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis is 0.587\ kgm^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

An object of mass 3.00 kg, moving with an initial velocity of 5.05 m/s, collides with and sticks to an object of mass 2.76 kg wi
Lynna [10]

Answer:

0.752 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = 3.00kg

u1 = 5.05m/s

m2 = 2.76kg

u2 = -3.66m/s

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

3(5.05) + 2.76(-3.66) = (5.05+2.76)v

15.15 - 9.2736 = 7.81v

5.8764 = 7.81v

v = 5.8764/7.81

v = 0.752m/s

choli [55]

Answer:

A. Measurements are made with tools; observations are not

Explanation:

Measurement: <em>the assignment of numbers or codes according to prior-set rules. </em>

Observation: <em>data from an individual study subject or sampled unit.</em>

Measurement error: <em>differences between "true" answers and what appears on data collection instruments</em>
