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.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The object would fall 57.625 m in the first 5 seconds

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that

the height of fall = 490 ft = ‪149.352‬ m

Time to touch the ground = 7 seconds

We are required to find out how far the object falls in the first 5 seconds

We apply the relation

S = u·t + 0.5×g·t ² = We then have

‪149.352‬ = U×7+0.5*9.81*49 From where u = -13 m/s

Therefore to find how far it falls in the first 5 seconds, we have

-13*5 + 0.5*9.81*25 = 57.625 m

An isolated conducting sphere has a 17 cm radius. One wire carries a current of 1.0000020 A into it. Another wire carries a curr
notsponge [240]

14 ms is required to reach the potential of 1500 V.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The current is measured as the amount of charge traveling per unit time. So the charge of electrons required for each current is determined as the product of current with time.

       Charge = Current \times Time

As two different current is passing at two different times, the net charge will be the different in current.  So,

        \text { Charge }=(1.0000020-1.0000000) \times t=2 \times 10^{-6} \times t

The electric voltage on the surface of cylinder can be obtained as the ratio of charge to the radius of the cylinder.

        V=\frac{k q}{R}

Here k = 9 * 10^9, q is the charge and R is the radius. As q=2 \times 10^{-6} \times t and R =17 cm = 0.17 m, then the voltage will be

        V=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6} \times t}{0.17}

The time is required to find to reach the voltage of 1500 V, so

1500 =\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6} \times t}{0.17}

\begin{aligned}&t=\frac{1500 \times 0.17}{\left(9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6}\right)}\\&t=14.1666 \times 10^{-3} s=14\ \mathrm{ms}\end{aligned}

So, 14 ms is required to reach the potential of 1500 V.

forsale [732]

Answer:

v = 5.24[m/s]

Explanation:

Este problema se puede resolver por medio del principio de la conservación de la energía, donde la energía potencial es igual a la energía cinética. Es decir a medida que el carrito desciende su energía potencial disminuye, pero su energía cinética aumenta.

E_{kin}=E_{pot}

Donde:

E_{kin}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\\\E_{pot}=m*g*h

Ahora reemplazando:

\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}=m*g*h\\\\0.5*v^{2}=9.81*1.4\\v=\sqrt{\frac{9.81*1.4}{0.5} }   \\\\v=5.24[m/s]
