How much does a 55 gal drum weigh of crushed aluminum cans?
150
How does the density of the metal in the crushed can compare with the metal's density before the can was crushed?
It depends on what you're measuring: the density of the aluminum or the aluminum and the space inside the can. If it's the density of the aluminum only, it doesn't change much. If it's the density of the aluminum and the space inside the can, the density greatly decreases as you are getting rid of the air, and therefore the volume, inside. This also depends on if you are using your foot or a garbage compacter.
How can aluminum float on water?
Shape the aluminum to look like a boat, so it displaces enough water to float. The force supporting the aluminum is the buoyant force. It is equal to the weight of the volume of water displaced.
How much weight can aluminum hold?
There is effectively no limit to the amount of weight that aluminum can hold, if you use enough aluminum.
Does aluminum sink or float in water and why?
Generally speaking, a denser substance will sink in a less dense substance. Assuming standard temperatures, since aluminum has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water only has 1 gram per cc, aluminum would sink. A thin aluminum foil could float by virtue of the surface tension on water (but if submerged, will sink). An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight. An aluminum block could also float on a liquid of higher density than the aluminum.

When an aluminum can is crushed did it undergo a physical change or a chemical change?
When a aluminum can is crushed, it undergoes a physical change, because even though the object got crushed and misshaped it still has the same identity.The identity has never changed.
Information on can crushers?
Basically, they are just a lever that applies force to the can and crushes it. In my area, the can recyclers will not accept aluminum cans that have been crushed. For some reason, they want them full-size.
What physical property changes when aluminum can is crushed?
I Have the same question
Where can you sell crashed aluminum cans?
You can sell crushed aluminum cans at a metal scrap yard in your area. Most of them will pay the going price for aluminum by the pound.
How many crushed aluminum cans fit in a 55 gallon drum?
It depends on how well they are crushed.
How much per pound for recycled crushed aluminum cans in SC?
The cost of recycled crushed aluminum cans in South Carolina is currently $0.45 per pound. This price is subject to change depending on the current market rate. The amount of aluminum cans recycled is also a factor that can influence the cost.It is best to contact a local recycling center or scrap yard to get the most accurate and up-to-date information about the price of recycled aluminum in your local area.
How does the density of a crushed metal can compare to the density of the metal can before it was crushed?
The crushed can will have a density that is quite a bit higher than the density of the can before it was crushed. Imagine a box of empty aluminum beverage cans. It won't weigh much. If those same cans are crushed, they will weigh the same, but take up a lot less space. The density of the cans can be increased by crushing them. The cans might be said to have a low bulk density before being crushed.
Why is rotor in energy meter made of aluminum why not copper?
Aluminum is much lighter than copper and has a lower conductivity which makes it easier for it to create more force. It is also much cheaper than copper.

Why are you crushed by atmospheric pressure?
The force is equal to when you experience these feelings.
