The answer is 8 because multiplying 7 and 8 is 56
The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.
All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.
If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.
Question
What was the change in potential energy of the sheep?
Answer:
1962(m) J
Explanation:
Potential energy is given by
PE=mgh
Change in potential energy is given by
∆PE=mg(h2-h1)
Where ∆PE is the change in potential eneegy, g is acceleration due to gravity, h2 is final height and h1 is the initial height.
Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1200 m for h2 and 1000 m for h1 then
∆PE=m*9.81(1200-1000)=1962m Joules
Since we are not given the mass of rhe sheep, the answer will be 1962(m) Joules
Answer:
To calculate the mechanical advantage of a pulley you simply have to count the number of rope sections that support whatever object you are lifting (not counting the rope that is attached to the effort)
Example:
For example, in a one pulley system the MA is 1. In a two pulley system the MA is 2. The more compound the pulley is the easier the load is to lift. If you were lifting a 600kg object with 2 pulleys you would have to use enough effort to pull 300kg to lift the 600kg object! Therefore your mechanical advantage would be 2 (600/300).
MA= load/effort OR number of rope sections
