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
Answer:
I guess that we want to find how much money you get each week.
We know that the job pays $8.60 per hour.
We know that you work 20 hours per week.
Then the gross pay (the total money that you earn) in a week is 20 times $8.60, or:
20*$8.60 = $172.
Now we know that your employer witholds:
10% + 7.65% + 5% = 22.65%
Then your employer withholds 22.65% of your gross pay.
if the 100% of your gross pay is $172
Then the 22.65% will be:
(22.65%/100%)*$172 = 0.2265*$172 = $38.96
This means that your employer withholds $38.96 of your weekly gross pay.
Then each week you get:
$172 - $38.96 = $133.04
Answer:
The moon keeps the same face pointing towards the Earth because its rate of spin is tidally locked so that it is synchronized with its rate of revolution (the time needed to complete one orbit). In other words, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.
Answer:
With sonar, what happens to sound pulses from a ship after they hit the ocean floor? ... They bounce back to the ship.
Explanation:
I'm actually going ahead in the book (DC Circuits) so this isn't really homework but I figured the tag was appropriate....the name of the chapter is Ohm's Law and Watt's Law.
<span>Problem: Calculate the power dissipated in the load resistor, R, for each of the circuits.Circuit (a): V = 10V; I = 100mA; R = ?; Since I know
V and
I use formula
P = IV: P = IV = (100mA)(10V) = 1 W.</span>
The next question is what I'm not sure about:
Question: What is the power in the circuit (a) above if the voltage is doubled? (Hint: Consider the effect on current).
What I did initially was: P = IV = (100mA)(2V) = 2 W
But then I looked at the answer and it said 4 W, then I looked at the Hint again. Then I remembered in the book early on it said "If the voltage increases across a resistor, current will increase."
So question is: When solving problems I have to increase (or decrease) current (I) every time voltage (V) is increased (decreased) in a problem, right? How about the other way around, when increasing current (I), you need to increase voltage (V). I'm pretty sure that's how they got 4 W, but want to make sure before I head to the next section of the book.
P = IV = (200mA)(2V) = 4 W
