Concrete is made from sand, gravel, and cement (which is made from shale, limestone, and
the minerals quartz, gypsum, iron, alumina, manganese, and clay). Every year, 4700 lb of concrete are produced for every person in the United States, so that our roads, homes, schools, businesses, factories, and so on can be built or maintained. Calculate how much concrete is produced for your entire class in one calendar year. (Source: Mineral Information Institute, www.mii.org.)

- One gallon of paint (volume = 3.79 103 m3) covers an area of 25.0 m2. What is the thickness of the fresh paint on the wall?arrow_forwardIt is estimated that about 40.0 m² of solar panel is needed to provide electricity for an average household. A city has about 415 thousand households and its area is about 106 km². About what percent of the city would need to be completely covered in solar panels to provide electricity for all these families? Your Answer: Answerarrow_forwardA recipe for chilled red plum soup makes 1 gallon of soup. The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. How many cups of lemon juice should you use if you want to make 200 portions of the soup and each portion is 3/4 cup?arrow_forward
- A particular variety of wood has a density of 0.40 grammes per cubic centimetre. What is the mass in kilogrammes of a cord of this wood, where a cord is equal to 128 cubic feet of wood?arrow_forwardA sample of a gold nugget was measured and ha a mass of 2.94 lbm. if the gold is drawn into a wire whose diameter is 3.73 x 10^ -3, how many inches of gold wire can be obtained from the nugget? The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm^3arrow_forwardElectrical power is commonly measured in watts (W) or in kilowatts (kW). A commercial solar panel generates about 0.100.10 watts per square inch of surface area. Based on this, how many kilowatts of power could be generated by a residential solar panel array with a surface area of 371 ft2? amount of power: kWarrow_forward
- Density is always expressed as mass per unit volume. If an organic liquid has a density of 0.9 grams per cubic centimeter and if 1 cubic feet is 7.481 gallons, How many cubic feet are needed to hold 1000 pounds of the liquid? how many gallons?arrow_forwardAn iceberg has a density of 57.1 lb/ft3. If it floats on freshwater, what percent of the iceberg's volume will be visible? Express your answer in decimals with two significant figures.arrow_forwardThe solar power per unit area at the Earth's distance from the sun--called the "solar constant"--is 1.36 kW/m^2. If a solar power station in a sunny location uses 20%-efficient solar panels, what area of panels is required to replace a 1.0 GW power plant at noon. Express the answer in square kilometers. 3676arrow_forward
- Question#6: Jared Fogle, also known as the "Subway Sandwich Guy," weighed 425 lb in 1997 before losing more than 240 Ib in 12 months. A chart showing his possible dramatic weight loss is given in the accompanying figure. W 500 425 300 200 100 t 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Time (months) 0 1 a. Estimate Jared's rate of weight loss when i) t=2 ii) t=4 iii) t=8 b. When does Jared lose weight most rapidly and what is this rate of weight loss? c. Graph the derivative of weight W. Weight (lb)arrow_forwardWhat is the volume of a rock with a density of 2 g/cm³ and a mass of 520 g? (answer to one decimal place) Your Answer: Answerarrow_forwardA certain wind turbine has a nameplate capacity of 2 MW. If the average capacity factor is 41%, how much energy in MWh does the turbine generate each week? Please include one decimal place in your answer. Hint: there are 168 hours in a week.arrow_forward
