Adam uses a fixed pulley, such as the one shown below, to lift an object. Adam applies an input force to the pulley as he pulls

down to lift the object. As he does this, Adam wonders about how the pulley is helping him. How is the pulley helping Adam lift the object?

When Adam applies a ‘pull’ force on the pulley, there is an output force that the pulley lets out, directly pulling the object with it. We cannot always pull up objects with our bear hands, no matter how much force we apply. Which is why pulleys allow us to apply the force and pulleys do the work of pulling the objects for us, since work and force come hand in hand.

How old is a bone if it still has 50% of its carbon-14 content?
Degger [83]

Answer:

5730 years

Explanation:

The half life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.  If 50% of the carbon-14 remains, then exactly 1 half life has passed.

The half-life equation is:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

where A is the remaining amount,

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is time,

and T is the half life.

In this case, A = ½ A₀ and T = 5730.

½ A₀ = A₀ (½)^(t / 5730)

½ = (½)^(t / 5730)

1 = t / 5730

t = 5730

In order to walk barefoot on hot coals without hurting your feet
siniylev [52]

Before a person walks through burning coal, the person will make sure their feet are very wet. When they start walking on the coal, this moisture will evaporate and form a protective gas layer underneath the person's feet. You can see examples of this if you happen to drip some water on a hot stove or any very hot surface. The water will very easily glide around on top of a newly formed layer of air underneath it -- like air hockey pucks on an air hockey table. Note that when someone walks through burning coal, typically this is also done very quickly to prevent a great deal of exposure to possible harm. By walking quickly, thinking positively, and letting the water cushion you from immediate danger over a short distance, such a task is possible. You may have also heard of physics teachers demonstrating how this principle works by sticking their hand first in a bucket of water and then quickly in a bucket of boiling molten lead. In the lead, their hand is protected briefly by a layer of gas from the evaporated water (the water vapor). I'm fairly sure that there is a name for this particular layer of gas, but I'm afraid the name is beyond me at the moment. In other words, water vapor has a low heat capacity and poor thermal conduction. Very often, the coals or wood embers that are used in fire walking also have a low heat capacity. Sweat produced on the bottom of people's feet also helps form a protective water vapor. All of this together makes it possible, if moving quickly enough, to walk across hot coals without getting burned. WARNING: Do not attempt to perform any of the actions described above. You can seriously injure yourself. Answered by: Ted Pavlic, Electrical Engineering Undergrad Student, Ohio St.  (citing my source)

The product PV, where P and V represent pressure and volume respectively, is a unit for which?
Basile [38]
<span>PV is actually energy. P = F/A force per area, and V = A L, so PV = F L and force times distance is work which is energy. If you have P in N/m^2 and V in m^3, you have Joules, N-m.</span>

Calculate the internal axial load at a point D if length L=7 ft. The part is subjected to loads P1=632 lbs, P2=888 lbs (applied
liraira [26]

Answer:

- 256 lbs

Explanation:

The internal axial load at point D can be calculated as the change in the subjected loads. if the magnitude of the horizontal direction = zero

EF_x = 0; Then:

internal axial load at point D = Δ P

= -(P₂ - P₁)

= - ( 888 lbs - 632 lbs)

= - 256 lbs
