A pulley with a mechanical advantage of 5 will require you to pull _____ times the amount of rope.
1 answer:
Answer:
It will require a force of 1/5, answer A.
Explanation:
In the attached image we can see an example of an array of pulleys that will lift a 100 kg-f load.
If we analyze pulleys A,B, and C as in the image we can check a force in the cable of 20kg-f.
In the pulley D we have three forces of 20 kg-f each and those forces plus the forces in the pulley B, sum a total of 100 kg-f (60+40). This matches the mechanical advantage (100/5) = 20 kg-f

Answer:
Explanation:
Ok, the average speed can be calculate with the next equation:
(1)
Basically the car cover the same distance "d" two times, but at different speeds, so:
and the total time would be the time t1 required to go from A to B plus the time t2 required to go back from B to A:
From basic physics we know:
so:
Using the previous information in equation (1)
Factoring:
(2)
Finally, replacing the data in (2)
