    How Efficient Is a Tire Jack Lifting a Car with a 50N Force?

    The end of the lever of a tire jack travels 7 m for every centimeter that it lifts the car. If the car has a mass of 1000 kg and a force of 50 N is needed to lift the car, what is the efficiency of the jack Efficiency = useful work output/total work input w = F x d, where w is work, F is...

    Pushing a box up an inclined plane

    I need to calculate the efficiency of a inclined plane if a 60 pound box is being pushed up it... The inclined plane is 16 feet long (The plane itself, not the base) and it is raised up 4 feet high. Homework Equations efficiency= useful work output/total work input w=fd w= work...

    How Many Dynes to Change Length of Spring by 20cm?

    The question is... suppose it requires 100 dynes to change the length of a certain spring 5 cm. What force is required to change the length of the spring 20 cm? Would you just multiply it... and say it would take 400 dynes?

    Calculating Centripetal Acceleration and Gravitational Force in a Hydrogen Atom

    Homework Statement The mass of an electron is 9 x 10-31 kg. The mass of a proton is 1.7 x 10-27 kg. The proton and electron are about 1.0 x 10-10 m apart in a hydrogen atom. What force of gravitation exists between the proton and the electron of a hydrogen atom? What is the centripetal...
