I'm happy to know that the diagram shows how it's all set up.
If I could see the diagram, then I could probably do a much
better job with an answer.  As it is ... 'flying blind' as it were ...
I'm going to wing it and hope it's somewhat helpful.

If the pulley is movable, then I'm picturing one end of the rope
tied to a hook in the ceiling, then the rope passing down through
the pulley, then back up, and you lifting the free end of the rope.

A very useful rule about movable and combination pulleys is:
the force needed to lift the load is

            (the weight of the load)
divided by
            (the number of strands of rope supporting the load) .

With the setup as I described it, there are 2 strands of rope
supporting the load ... one on each side of the pulley.  So the
force needed to lift the load is

                                 (250 N) / 2  =  125 N .

Help please:Calculate the mechanical energy of a bird flying at a speed of 10 m / s at an altitude of 15 m. If its mass is 150 g
Sonja [21]

Mass of the bird(m) = 150 g = 0.15 kg

Speed (v) = 10 m/s

Kinetic Energy = \frac{1}{2}m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 0.15 (10)^{2} = 7.5 J

Altitude (h) = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = (0.15)(9.81)(15) = 22.0725 J

Mechanical Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy = 7.5 + 22.0725

= 29.5725 J

As an object rolls downhill, some of the energy is
Charra [1.4K]
When the object is at the top of the hill it has the most potential energy. If it is sitting still, it has no kinetic energy. As the object begins to roll down the hill, it loses potential energy, but gains kinetic energy. The potential energy of the position of the object at the top of the hill is getting converted into kinetic energy. Hope this helped. :)

A hiker climbs a mountain. Starting at the base of the mountain, he first moved up 520m at a 32.0 degree angle. What is the fina
balu736 [363]

Answer:

\displaystyle \vec{d}=

Explanation:

<u>Displacement Vector</u>

Suppose an object is located at a position  

\displaystyle P_1(x_1,y_1)

and then moves at another position at

\displaystyle P_2(x_2,y_2)

The displacement vector is directed from the first to the second position and can be found as

\displaystyle \vec{d}=

If the position is given as magnitude-angle data ( z , α), we can compute its rectangular components as

\displaystyle x=z\ cos\alpha

\displaystyle y=z\ sin\alpha

The question describes the situation where the initial point is the base of the mountain, where both components are zero

\displaystyle P_1(0,0)

The final point is given as a 520 m distance and a 32-degree angle, so  

\displaystyle x_2=520\ cos32^o= 440.99\ m

\displaystyle y_2=520\ sin32^o=275.6\ m

The displacement is

\displaystyle \vec{d}=

A 1100 kg sports car accelerates from 0m/s to 32m/s in 10 seconds. What is the average power of the engine?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The average power of the engine of the sports car is 56.32 kW

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the sports car, m = 1100 kg

initial velocity of the sports car, u = 0 m/s

final velocity of the sports car, v = 32 m/s

time of motion, t = 10 s

The kinetic energy of the car is given by;

K.E = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ x 1100 x 32²

K.E = 563200 J

The average power of the engine of the sports car is given by;

Pavg = Energy / time

Pavg = 563200 / 10

Pavg = 56320 W

Pavg = 56.32 kW

Therefore, the average power of the engine of the sports car is 56.32 kW

if the pointy thingy in your compass is pointing north, that means it's being (pulled toward) something near Earth's north pole
