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.

A runner of mass 51.8 kg starts from rest and accelerates with a constant acceleration of 1.31 m/s^2 until she reaches a velocit
Stells [14]

Answer:32.24 s

Explanation:

Given

mass of runner (m)=51.8 kg

Constant acceleration(a)=1.31 m/s^2

Final velocity (v)=5.47 m/s

Time taken taken to reach 5.47 m/s

v=u+at

5.47=0+1.31\times t

t=\frac{5.47}{1.31}=4.17 s

Distance traveled during this time is

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

s=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.31\times 4.17^2=11.42 m

So remaining distance left to travel with constant velocity=153.57 m

thus time =\frac{distance}{speed}

t_2=\frac{153.57}{5.47}=28.07 s

Total time=28.07+4.17=32.24 s

You are doing an experiment to determine how many passengers would fit into a full-sized plane. If a scale model plane has space
romanna [79]
The real place should theoretically have space for 87 passengers if it is an exact model and doesn't have modifications in the seat numbers.

A block of mass 12.2 kg is sliding at an initial velocity of 3.9 m/s in the positive x-direction. The surface has a coefficient
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Force of friction = μ R where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction and R is reaction force

R = mg where m is mass of the block

Force of friction F = μ x mg

= .173 x 12.2 x 9.8

= 20.68 N

b ) Only force of friction is acting on the body so

deceleration = force / mass = 20.68 / 12.2 = 1.7 m /s²

acceleration = - 1.7 m /s²

c )

v² = u² - 2 a s

v = 0 , u = 3.9 m /s

a = 1.7 m /s

0 = 3.9² - 2 x 1.7 x s

s = 4.47  m
