Perform the following calculations and express your answer using the correct number of significant digits. (a) A man has two bags weighing 13.5 lb and one bag with a weight of 10.2 lb. What is the total weight of the bags? (b) The force Fon an object is equal to its mass mmultiplied by its acceleration a . If a wagon with mass 55 kg accelerates at a rate of 0.0255m/s2 , what is the force on the wagon? (The unit of force is called the newton and it is expressed with the symbol N.)

The corn–hog ratio is a financial term used in the pig marketand presumably is related to the cost of feeding a pig until it islarge enough for market. It is defined as the ratio of the marketprice of a pig with a mass of 3.108 slugs to the market price of aU.S. bushel of corn. (The word “slug” is derived from an oldGerman word that means “to hit”; we have the same meaning for“slug” as a verb in modern English.) A U.S. bushel is equal to35.238 L. If the corn–hog ratio is listed as 5.7 on the market exchange,what is it in the metric units of price of 1 kilogram of pig/ price of 1 liter of corn ?

Dimensional Analysis and Unit Conversion The most powerful engine available for the classic 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray A. developed 360 horsepower and had a displacement of 327 cubic inches. Express this displacement in liters (L) by using only the conversions 1 L = 1000 cm³ and 1 in. =2.54 cm. A useful and easy-to-remember approximate value for the number of seconds in a year B. is T X 107. Determine the percent error in this approximate value. (There are 365.24 days in one year.)

According to Timothy Treadwell in 2001 "Now, the bears I live with average, the males are on average twelve hundred pounds. They're the largest bears in the world and they've been clocked at 41 [mph] and they've run a hundred meter dash in 5.85 seconds which human on stimulants doesn't even approach. a. Compute the speed of a grizzly bear using Mr. Treadwell's hundred-meter statement. b. Compute the momentum of a grizzly bear using the speed you calculated in part a. and the average mass stated by Mr. Treadwell. c. How fast would a 250 lb man have to run to have the same momentum you calculated in part b? d. How fast would a 4000 lb car have to drive to have the same momentum you calculated in part b?
