A jack for a car requires a force of 120 lbs to lift a 3,000 lb car. what is the ratio of the cars weight to the force required

to lift the car?

A ratio can be written as a fraction and simplified.
120/3000
simplifies to 12/300
simplifies to 6/150
simplifies to 2/50
simplifies to 1/25 
so each 1 pound of force from the jack lifts 25 pounds of car.

how many miles can you get on one tank of gas if yout tank holds 18 gallons and you get 22miles per gallon
yaroslaw [1]
Well to find the total miles what I would do is 18 x 22 which would equal 396 so the answer would be: You can go 396mi with a car that gets 22 mpg* and holds 18 gallons

*Mpg=Miles per gallon

A 60-kg runner raises his center of mass approximately 0.5 m with each step. Although his leg muscles act as a spring, recapturi
Darina [25.2K]

Answer: P = 36.75W

The additional power needed to account for the loss is 36.75W.

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of the runner m= 60 kg

Height of the centre of gravity h= 0.5m

Acceleration due to gravity g= 9.8m/s

The potential energy of the body for each step is;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 60 × 9.8 × 0.5

PE = 294J

Since the average loss per compression on the leg is 10%.

Energy loss = 10% (P.E)

E = 10% of 294J

E = 29.4J

To calculate the runner's additional power

given that time per stride is = 0.8s

Power P = Energy/time

P = E/t

P = 29.4J/0.8s

P = 36.75W

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the electric field pointing right , force on the electron will be towards left . Since charge is moving towards right so it is doing some work against the force . Hence its potential energy will increase. Whenever a work is done against a force , the work done is converted into potential energy in conservative field. Electric field is also a conservative field.
