Why might you want to use a single fixed pulley?

Physics
1 answer:
hjlf3 years ago
4 0

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).

A force of 10 lb is required to hold a spring stretched 4 in. beyond its natural length. How much work W is done in stretching i
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

114.44 J

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

F = ke................. Equation 1

Where F = Force required to stretch the spring, k = spring constant, e = extension.

make k the subject of the equation

k = F/e.............. Equation 2

Given: F = 10 lb = (10×4.45) N = 44.5 N, e = 4 in = (4×0.254) = 1.016 m.

Substitute into equation 2

k = 44.5/1.016

k = 43.799 N/m

Work done in stretching the 9 in beyond its natural length

W = 1/2ke²................. Equation 3

Given: e = 9 in = (9×0.254) = 2.286 m, k = 43.799 N/m

Substitute into equation 3

W = 1/2×43.799×2.286²

W = 114.44 J

A third point charge q3 is now positioned halfway between q1 and q2. The net force on q2 now has a magnitude of F2,net = 14.413
natima [27]

Answer:

The value of  charge q₃ is 40.46 μC.

Explanation:

Given that.

Magnitude of net force F=14.413\ N

Suppose a point charge q₁ = -3 μC is located at the origin of a co-ordinate system. Another point charge q₂ = 7.7 μC is located along the x-axis at a distance x₂ = 8.2 cm from q₁. Charge q₂ is displaced a distance y₂ = 3.1 cm in the positive y-direction.

We need to calculate the distance

Using Pythagorean theorem

r=\sqrt{x_{2}^2+y_{2}^2}

Put the value into the formula

r=\sqrt{(8.2\times10^{-2})^2+(3.1\times10^{-2})^2}

r=0.0876\ m

We need to calculate the magnitude of the charge q₃

Using formula of net force

F_{12}=kq_{2}(\dfrac{q_{3}}{r_{3}^2}+\dfrac{q_{1}}{r_{1}^2})

Put the value into the formula

14.413=9\times10^{9}\times7.7\times10^{-6}(\dfrac{q_{3}}{(0.0438)^2}+\dfrac{-3\times10^{-6}}{(0.0876)^2})

(\dfrac{q_{3}}{(4.38\times10^{-2})^2}+\dfrac{-3\times10^{-6}}{(0.0876)^2})=\dfrac{14.413}{9\times10^{9}\times7.7\times10^{-6}}

\dfrac{q_{3}}{(0.0438)^2}=207\times10^{-4}+3.909\times10^{-4}

q_{3}=0.0210909\times(0.0438)^2

q_{3}=40.46\times10^{-6}\ C

q_{3}=40.46\ \mu C

Hence, The value of  charge q₃ is 40.46 μC.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

A. polymerization

Explanation:

Synthetic plastics are made by linking many simple carbon molecules together to form much larger molecules. This process is called polymerization.

Synthetic or artifical giant molecules consists of synthetic polymers such as plastics, elastomers etc. They are made up of simple monomers which links to form the complex and giant structure.

Monomers are the simplest unit of polymers. Polymers have very great sizes. The size mkaes their structure quite complex. This makes the molecules more disposed in a regular pattern with respect to one another.

The complexity of structure and the attendant effects accounts for the properties and uses that makes synthetic molecules very unique. For example, plastics can be extruded as sheets, pipes and or moulded into other objects.
