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.

If Superman really had x-ray vision at 0.12 nm wavelength and a 4.1 mm pupil diameter, at what maximum altitude could he disting
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Maximum altitude to see(L) =  1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength (λ) = 0.12 nm = 0.12 × 10⁻⁹ m

Pupil Diameter (d) = 4.1 mm = 4 × 10⁻³ m

Separation distance (D) = 5.4 cm = 0.054 m

Find:

Maximum altitude to see(L)

Computation:

Resolving power = 1.22(λ / d)

D / L = 1.22(λ / d)

0.054 / L = 1.22 [(0.12 × 10⁻⁹) / (4 × 10⁻³ m)]

0.054 / L = 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]

L = 0.054 / 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]

L = 0.054 / [0.0366 × 10⁻⁶]

L = 1.47 × 10⁶

Maximum altitude to see(L) =  1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)

A motorcycle is moving at a speed of 21 m/s. The driver applies the brakes, giving hum an acceleration of -2.4 m/s^2. After 2 se
WARRIOR [948]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. 16.2 m/s

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Using the equation;

v = u + at; where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken;

u = 21 m/s, a= -2.4 m/s^2 and t = 2 seconds

Therefore;

v = 21 + ((-2.4) × 2)

  = 21 - 4.8

 <u> = 16.2 m/s</u>

Situation 6.1 A 13.5-kg box slides over a rough patch 1.75 m long on a horizontal floor. Just before entering the rough patch, t
GenaCL600 [577]
B) 14.0 N    

The way to solve this problem is to determine the kinetic energy the box had before and after the rough patch of floor. The equation for kinetic energy is: 

 E = 0.5 M V^2 

 where 

 E = Energy 

 M = Mass 

 V = velocity   

 Substituting the known values, let's calculate the before and after energy. 

 Before: 

 E = 0.5 M V^2 

 E = 0.5 13.5kg (2.25 m/s)^2 

 E = 6.75 kg 5.0625 m^2/s^2 

 E = 34.17188 kg*m^2/s^2 = 34.17188 joules   

 After: 

 E = 0.5 M V^2 

 E = 0.5 13.5kg (1.2 m/s)^2 

 E = 6.75 kg 1.44 m^2/s^2 

 E = 9.72 kg*m^2/s^2 = 9.72 Joules   

 So the box lost 34.17188 J - 9.72 J = 24.451875 J of energy over a distance of 1.75 meters. Let's calculate the loss per meter by dividing the loss by the distance.   

 24.451875 J / 1.75 m = 13.9725 J/m = 13.9725 N   

 Rounding to 1 decimal place gives 14.0 N which matches option "B".

Explain why the temperature for freezing point and boiling point are the same.
Tasya [4]
We have to wonder what substance you're working with.  Under normal, human environmental conditions, there are almost no substances that freeze and boil at the same temperature. 

However, EVERY substance has SOME temperature, at some pressure, at which it "sublimes" ... passing directly from solid to gas, or from gas to solid, without existing in liquid form in between.  Even water does that, if the conditions are right.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!<br><br> Which number shows the wavelength?
Ray Of Light [21]

If you read the question carefully, you can find the answer right there in it.

In fact, you don't even have to read the whole question ... you only need to read one word.

In fact, you don't even have to read the whole word ... you only need to read part of the word.

The word to read is "wavelength".

The important part of the word is "length".

<em>Now</em> it's time to look at the picture:

#1 is a height.

#2 is a place on the wave

#4 is a place on the wave

<em>#3 </em>is the only thing in the picture that's a "length" of anything.
