If your front lawn is 19.0 feet wide and 20.0 feet long, and each square foot of lawn accumulates 1050 new snowflakes every minute, how much snow, in kilograms, accumulates on your lawn per hour? assume an average snowflake has a mass of 2.20 mg.

$S [kg]=52.668\frac{kg}{hour}$

Explanation:

1) Since the question is stating how many snowflakes are accumulated in each square foot (ft²), we should know the area (A) of our front lawn, in ft² units. For that, we multiply its width by its length:

$A = (19.0 ft)*(20.0 ft) = 380 ft^{2}$

So we have an area of 380 ft².

2) Now, if each square foot of lawn accumulates 1050 new snowflakes every minute, how many new snowflakes per minute (SPM) accumulate on the entire area? To find that out, we want to multiply 1050 by the number of square feet we have in total:

$SPM = (1050 \frac{snowflakes}{minute*ft^{2} } )*(380 ft^{2} ) = 399 000\frac{snowflakes}{minute}$

Which means that each minute, our front lawn accumulates 399 000 new snowflakes.

3) We should now know how many snowflakes accumulate per hour (SPH). To do this, we simply multiply SPM by 60, since each hour has 60 minutes:

$SPH = (399 000\frac{snowflakes}{minute})*(60\frac{minutes}{hour})=23940000\frac{snowflakes}{hour}$

If we use scientific notation, we can then establish that our front lawn accumulates $2.394*10^{7}$ new snowflakes every hour.

4) Now we want to know how much snow (S), in kilograms, accumulates on our lawn per hour. Since we already have the number of snowflakes that accumulate in one hour, we only have to multiply that number (SPH) by the mass of an average snowflake, which is 2.20mg.

$S= (2.394*10^{7}\frac{snowflakes}{hour})*(2.20\frac{mg}{snowflake})=5.2668*10^{7}\frac{mg}{hour}$

Finally, to convert the mass from mg to kg, we simply have to divide it by one million (1000000):

$S=(\frac{5.2668*10^{7}\frac{mg}{hour}}{1000000\frac{mg}{kg} })=52.668\frac{kg}{hour}$

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice

c. a compressed spring

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice is the correct option.

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
