Increasing the # of pulleys increases the _______ but decreases the amount of ______ applied

Distance, Force

<u>Explanation:</u>

1)  Increasing the load will add to the friction on the bearings of the pulleys, thus reducing the efficiency of the system.  The ideal mechanical advantage won't change since the ideal mechanical advantage ignores friction.

2)  Increasing the number of pulleys will increase the ideal mechanical advantage, but because of friction it will decrease the efficiency.  The more pulleys that are turning, the more friction there is, and the less efficient the system will be.

3)  Work = force x distance, and what machines do is alter the amount of force you can apply while at the same time reducing the distance moved by the same factor.  For instance, a jack multiplies the force you apply by a factor of 100, when you push down on the handle of the jack 100 cm, the car will only go up 1 cm.  So the force x distance is the same 100 x force x 1/100 x distance.

Nadusha1986 [10]
See coulomb's law. Force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. So if you multiply r by 2, the force is multiplied by (½)² = ¼.

In a uranium fission reaction, uranium splits into two smaller atoms and energy. Where did the energy come from?
postnew [5]

Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.

Prove that s=ut+½at²​
katrin2010 [14]

Explanation:

Distance travelled = Area under the line

= ut + ½ (v-u)t

Acceleration (a) = (v-u)/t and so (v-u) = at

Therefore,

Distance travelled (s) = ut + ½ (v-u)t = ut + ½ (at)t = ut + ½ at²

Thus,proved.
