A single fixed pulley can be used to raise or lower lightweight objects.
Option b
<u>Explanation:</u>
A pulley is a simple machine tool which is used to make lifting or lowering tasks easy. A single fixed pulley is a system involving only one pulley fixed on a constant rigid support with a rope wrapped around the wheel. Such a system can be used only to change the direction of applied force in raising or lowering small, lightweight objects which need minimal work force.
A single fixed pulley system helps only in redirecting the applied force direction by using a rope and wheel assembly. The work done in such a case remains the same and hence it is not preferred to use it in lifting heavy objects. Neither is the required force reduced in case of a single fixed pulley system. A movable pulley helps in achieving (A) and (C).
When you look at this, you might not be sure which way to divide ...
Should you divide 6 by 5 or 5 by 6 ?
Here's a case where you can use your units to decide.
The question wants to know the 'period'. That's a length of time,
so the answer needs to have units of time.
If you divide 'cycles' be 'time', you'll get 'cycles/second'.
That's Hz. It's frequency, not time.
If you divide 'time' by 'cycles', you'll get 'seconds/cycle'.
That's time, and it's exactly the definition of 'period'.
Period = (6 seconds) / (5 cycles)
= (6 / 5) seconds/cycle
= 1.2 seconds
Answer:
7.0 m
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Initial speed of the ball (u): 1.8 m/s
Acceleration (a): 6.1 m/s²
Final speed of the ball (v): 9.4 m/s
Step 2: Calculate the displacement (s) of the ball
The ball is moving with a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion. We can calculate the displacement using the following suvat equation.
v² = u² + 2 × a × s
s = (v² - u²)/2 × a
s = [(9.4 m/s)² - (1.8 m/s)²]/2 × 6.1 m/s²
s = 7.0 m
