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

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.

Suppose we have a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it trie
sammy [17]

Answer:

2.64 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it tries to get lunch. An unsuspecting 100 kilogram blue fin tuna is minding its own business swimming to the left at a speed of 0.5 meters traveled each second. GULP! After the great "yellow" shark "collides" with the blue fin tuna

Momentum = MV

Momentum of the yellow shark before collision = 600 × 3 = 1800 kgm/s

Momentum of the tun final before collision = 100 × 0.5 = 50 kgm/s

Total momentum before collision = 1800 + 50 = 1850 kgm/s

Let's assume that they move together after collision. Then,

1850 = ( 600 + 100 ) V

1850 = 700V

V = 1850 / 700

V = 2.64285 m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the shark after collision is 2.64 m/ s approximately

A car of mass 998 kilograms moving in the positive y–axis at a speed of 20 meters/second collides on ice with another car of mas
goldfiish [28.3K]
    <span> Let’s determine the initial momentum of each car.
#1 = 998 * 20 = 19,960
#2 = 1200 * 17 = 20,400

This is this is total momentum in the x direction before the collision. B is the correct answer. Since momentum is conserved in both directions, this will be total momentum is the x direction after the collision. To prove that this is true, let’s determine the magnitude and direction of the total momentum after the collision.

Since the y axis and the x axis are perpendicular to each other, use the following equation to determine the magnitude of their final momentum.

Final = √(x^2 + y^2) = √(20,400^2 + 19,960^2) = √814,561,600

This is approximately 28,541. To determine the x component, we need to determine the angle of the final momentum. Use the following equation.

Tan θ = y/x = 19,960/20,400 = 499/510
θ = tan^-1 (499/510)

The angle is approximately 43.85˚ counter clockwise from the negative x axis. To determine the x component, multiply the final momentum by the cosine of the angle.

x = √814,561,600 * cos (tan^-1 (499/510) = 20,400</span>

Scott needs to determine the density of a metallic rod. First, he should determine the mass of his sample on the laboratory balance. Second, he should measure the volume of his sample by water displacement. Finally, he can calculate the density by dividing mass/volume. 
Hope this helped ;)
