Lifting a bale of cotton is no easy task. Farmer Jones wanted to store the cotton in the loft of his barn but he could not budge

the bale. He consulted the high school's science teacher for help. She suggested a simple machine.
Farmer Jones' options included an inclined plane, a fixed pulley, a block and tackle, and a lever. If he had to lift the bale of cotton to a height of fifteen feet, which would be the MOST practical solution?

A) lever
B) screw
C) inclined plane
D) block and tackle (pulley)

An inclined plane would not be practical because he would still have to push it and the amount of effort and energy would increase. A lever would not be practical because he would have to use his weight to make the bale rise 15 feet. He would also need to make sure that he has a 15 foot ladder in the first place. A screw would not be practical because he would have to drill a hole through the medium and use rotation.

A pulley would be the most practical way of moving the cotton bale. A pulley supports movement and will help the farmer move the bale.

\sf\ Answer:\ D)\ BLOCK\ AND\ TACKLE\ (PULLEY)

If an irregularly shaped object (such as a wrench) is dropped from rest in a classroom and feels no air resistance, it will:
Maslowich

Answer:

D) accelerate but will not spin.

Explanation:

On the off chance that there is no air resistance the object will accelerate yet won't turn, this is on the grounds that without air resistance same force is applied on each bit of the object. Force on each segment is coordinated descending i.e parallel force. So there is no force to deliver spin movement in it.  

It will accelerate because of gravity

Why should you never use the coarse adjustment on high power
umka21 [38]

Answer:

First, the image moves in and out of focus too quickly, so that it is difficult to precisely adjust the focus. Second, you run the risk of crashing the objective into the slide. Use the coarse focus only with the 4x low power objective. You can use the fine focus knob with all objectives.

The diagram below represents a flashlight that has been turned on. Which form of energy is being converted to electrical energy
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Chemical energy to electrical energy

Explanation:

In nature, there are several types of energy.

In this example (a flashlight being turned on), we have a conversion of energy from chemical energy to electrical energy. In fact:

- Chemical energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the molecules of the substances used inside the battery. When the chemical reaction inside the battery occurs, this energy is liberated, and it is used to "push" the electrons along the circuit connected to the battery

- Electric energy is the energy associated to the motion of the electrons along the circuit of the flashlight; it is the energy associated to an electric current.

Moreover, in the flashlight the electric energy is then converted into two more types of energy: light energy (since the bulb in the flashlight produces light) and heat energy (because the flashlight also produces heat, so thermal energy).
