Can I get some help? I REALLY need it!

Explain why pulleys are in the lever family.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The leverage or mechanical advantage of pulleys is less obvious, but you can "gang" multiple pulleys together into two sets (blocks) and run the ropes back and forth between the two sets to increase the number of lengths of rope running between them. One end of the rope is connected (fixed) to one of the blocks, and you get to pull on the other end after it is passed back and forth between the blocks of pulleys. This is sometimes called a block and tackle arrangement. With a hook on each side of the block set, you can move a heavy load much like levers do, by multiplying the force. You have to pull more rope just like you have to move a lever more on one side of the fulcrum as compared to the other. When you get all the rope pulled out that you can, you can not move the load anymore because you have become "two-blocked" which means the two blocks are together. Credits to: Moin Khan

A 4 kg bowling bowl is sitting on a table 1 meter off the ground. How much potential energy does it have?

il63 [147K]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf P.E. = 39.2\ Joules}$

Explanation:

Given Data:

Mass = m = 4 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Height = h = 1 m

Required:

Potential Energy = P.E. = ?

Formula:

P.E. = mgh

Solution:

P.E. = (4)(9.8)(1)

P.E. = 39.2 Joules

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

The intensity of the radiation from the Sun measured on Earth is 1360 W/m2 and frequency is f = 60 MHz. The distance between the

Mama L [17]

Answer: (a) power output = 3.85×10²⁶W

(b). There is no relative change in power as it is independent from frequency

(c). 590 W/m²

Explanation:

given Radius between earth and sun to be = 1.50 × 10¹¹m

Intensity of the radiation from the sun measured on earth to be = 1360 W/m²

Frequency = 60 MHz

(a). surface area A of the sun on earth is = 4πR²

substituting value of R;

A = 4π(.50 × 10¹¹)² = 2.863 10²³×m²

A = 2.863 10²³×m²

now to get the power output of the sun we have;

P sun = I sun-earth A sun-earth

where A = 2.863 10²³×m², and I  is 1360 W/m²

P sun = 2.863 10²³ × 1360

P sun = 3.85×10²⁶W

(c). surface area A of the sun on mars is = 4πR²

now we substitute value of 2.28 ×10¹¹ for R sun-mars, we have

A sun-mars = 4π(2.28× 10¹¹)²

A sun-mars = 6.53 × 10²³m²

now to calculate the intensity of the sun;

I sun-mars = P sun / A sun-mars

where P sun = 3.85×10²⁶W and A sun-mars = 6.53 × 10²³m²

I sun-mars = 3.85×10²⁶W / 6.53 × 10²³m²

I sun-mars = 589.6 ≈ 590 W/m²

I sun-mars = 590 W/m²

(a) a light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.15 m/s2. how long does it take it to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h

snow_lady [41]

A = 1.15m/s2, Vf = 80.0km/h --> we need it in m/s, so:
Vf = 80km/h × 1000m/1km × 1h/3600s
= 22.22m/s
Top speed = Vf, initial speed = Vi
time (t) = V(Vf-Vi) ÷ a
t = (22.22-0)m/s ÷ 1.15m/s2
t = 22.22m/s × s2/1.15m
= 19.32 seconds
