You must raise the weight to a height of 10 meters. You cannot do it! Thinking back to what you have learned in science class, y
ou set up the pulley you see here. How does using this pulley reduce the force needed to lift the weight 10 meters?
2 answers:
A single pulley has no advantage in reducing force. A single pulley only helps by changing direction of effort, pulling something from up to down feels easier then vice versa due to our muscles arrangement. However, the force needed is the same.
Meanwhile multiple pullies divide the tension. The lower pulley itself reduces the force into half so as to you feel a part of the tension while rest is suspended by the ceiling in the case in the diagram below.

Explanation:
1) Acceleration is defined as the variation of Velocity
in time
:
(1)
A body also has acceleration when it changes its direction.
In this case we have a bus with a velocity of 60m/s to the east, that accelerates in a time 10s. So, we have to find the bus's acceleration:
(2)
(3) This is the bus's accelerration
2) Now we have a car that accelerates to the west in order to reach a speed of
in the same direction, and we have to find the time
it takes to the car to reach that velocity.
Therefore we have to find from (1):
