The inhabitants of a small island begin exporting beautiful clothmade from a rare plant that grows only on their island. Seeing howpopular the small quantity that they export has been, they steadilyraise their prices. A clothing maker from New York, thinking thathe can save money by "cutting out the middleman," decides to travelto the small island and buy the cloth himself. Ignorant of thelocal custom of offering strangers outrageous prices and thennegotiating down, the clothing maker accepts (much to everyone'ssurprise) the initial price of 400 tepizes/m^2. The price of thiscloth in New York is 120 dollars/yard^2.If the clothing maker bought 500m^2 of this fabric, how muchmoney did he lose? Use = 0.625Express your answer in dollars tothree significant figures.

During physical science, ms. greene challenged her students to produce an energy transformation. james and jill wrapped a 4-inch nail with a coil of fifty turns of wire. they connected one end of the coil to one terminal of a knife switch. they connected the other terminal of the knife switch to the battery. finally, they connected the end of the coil to the other terminal of the battery. james held the tip of a 1-inch nail near the flat end of the 4-inch nail. jill closed the knife switch quickly and then opened it. the 1-inch nail was pulled toward the 4-inch nail. what is the best explanation of why the nail moved? a) electrical energy was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. b) the 4-inch nail became an electromagnet and the magnetic force attracted the 1-inch nail. c) the electric current in the 4-inch nail was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. d) the 4-inch nail had a positive charge and the 1-inch nail had a negative charge. opposites attracted.
