How do you find mechanical advantage of a pulley?

1 answer:

A single pulley changes the direction of the effort, but it has
no mechanical advantage. The output force is the same as
the input force, so we'd say that the mechanical advantage is 1.

If there are two pulleys, with the rope going up and down and
around between them several times on its way from the effort
to the load, an arrangement that I think is called 'block and tackle',
then the mechanical advantage turns out to be the number of
strands of rope that are supporting the load.

Answer:

μ = 0.18

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second Law, the coordinate system is horizontal and vertical

Before starting to move the box

Y axis

N-W = 0

N = W = mg

X axis

F -fr = 0

F = fr

The friction force has the formula

fr = μ N

fr = μ m g

At the limit point just before starting the movement

F = μ m g

μ = F / m g

calculate

μ = 34.8 / (19.8 9.8)

μ = 0.18

The kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 6.8 kg and a velocity of 5.0 m/s is J. (Report the answer to two significant figu

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Kinetic \ energy \ (KE) = 85 \ J}$

Given:

Mass (m) = 6.8 kg

Speed (v) = 5.0 m/s

To Find:

Kinetic energy (KE)

Explanation:

Formula:

$\boxed{ \bold{\sf KE = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} }}$

Substituting values of m & v in the equation:

$\sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 6.8 \times {5}^{2}$

$\sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}} \times \cancel{2} \times 3.4 \times 25$

$\sf \implies KE =3.4 \times 25$

$\sf \implies KE = 85 \: J$

fredd [130]

Answer:

$\Delta x = 5.47 \times 10^{-9} m$

Explanation:

As we know by the principle of uncertainty that the product of uncertainty in position and uncertainty in momentum is given as

$\Delta x \times \Delta P = \frac{h}{4\pi}$

so here we know that

$\Delta v = 0.01 \times 10^6 m/s$

$m = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg$

so we have

$\Delta x \times (9.11 \times 10^{-31})(0.01 \times 10^6) = \frac{6.26 \times 10^{-34}}{4\pi}$

$\Delta x = 5.47 \times 10^{-9} m$

why is a train more difficult to stop then a rolling ball even if they are traveling at the same speed? URGENT

zloy xaker [14]

Think of the formula force=mass x acceleration. even though they have the same acceleration, a train has more mass. is that helpful?
