A single fixed pulley can be used to raise or lower lightweight objects.

Option b

Explanation:

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).

What is the work energy transfer equation?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The equation used to calculate the work done is: work done = force × distance. W = F × d. This is when: work done (W) is measured in joules (J)

Calculate the heat, in kilocalories, that is absorbed if 183 g of ice at 0.0 ∘C is placed in an ice bag, melts, and warms to bod

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The total amount of heat needed will be $Q_T=21.411kcal$ .

Explanation:

We will divide the calculation in two: First, the heat needed to melt the ice, and then the heat needed to warm the resulting liquid from 0°C to 37°C.

$m=183g$

$l_f=80\frac{cal}{g} =334\frac{J}{g}$

$l_w=1\frac{cal}{g} =4.184\frac{J}{g}$

i) The fusion heat will be:

$Q_f=l_fm=14640cal=14.640kcal$

ii) The heat needed to warm the water from $T_i=0^{\circ}C$ to $T_i=37^{\circ}C$ will be:

$Q_w=l_wm(T_f-T_i)=6771cal=6.771kcal$

So, the total amount needed will be the sum of these two results:

$Q_T=Q_f+Q_w=14.640kcal+6.771kcal=21.411kcal$ .

A 100-n force has a horizontal component of 80 n and a vertical component of 60 n. the force is applied to a box which rests on

iragen [17]

160 Joules

For this problem, we can ignore the vertical component of the applied force and focus on only the horizontal component of 80 N and since work is defined as force over distance, let's multiply the force by the distance: 80 N * 2.0 m = 160 Nm = 160 kg*m^2/s^2 = 160 Joules.

So the cart has a final kinetic energy of 160 Joules.
