There is no gain in mechanical advantage in a single fixed pulley but they are used​

Physics
1 answer:
yan [13]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A single fixed pulley is used to lift load by changing the direction of the lifting force. Even though a single fixed pulley has no mechanical gain in that, the effort applied is greater than the load, it is preferred in use since you do not have to pull or push the pulley up and down.

Explanation:

The answer itself speaks

A spring whose stiffness is 980 N/m has a relaxed length of 0. 50 m. If the length of the spring changes from 0. 25 m to 0. 81 m
Gelneren [198K]

151.9j

Explanation:

PE=1/2kx^2

PE=1/2(980)(.50)= 245j

PE=(1/2)(980)(.81)= 396.9j

396.9- 245= 151.9j

For a person with a Near Point (NP) = 45 cm, what would be his prescription's lens power = _________ diopters A) 1.08 diopters
natita [175]

Answer:

The power of lens is 2.22 D.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of image v= 45 cm

We know that,

Distance of object u= ∞

Power of lens is the reciprocal of focal length.

P=\dfrac{1}{f}

We need to calculate the power of lens

Using formula of lens

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}

Where, f = focal length

v = image distance

u = object distance

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{45}+\dfrac{1}{\infty}

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{0.45}+0

P=\dfrac{1}{f}=2.22

Hence, The power of lens is 2.22 D.

How do we think the "hot Jupiters" around other stars were formed? How do we think the "hot Jupiters" around other stars were fo
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

One of the leading theories of hot-Jupiter formation holds that gas giants in distant orbits become hot Jupiters when the gravitational influences from nearby stars or planets drive them into closer orbits. They formed as gas giants beyond the frost line and then migrated inwards.

Explanation:

In the migration hypothesis, a hot Jupiter forms beyond the frost line, from rock, ice, and gases via the core accretion method of planetary formation. The planet then migrates inwards to the star where it eventually forms a stable orbit. The planet may have migrated inward smoothly via type II orbital migration.  

Hot-Jupiters are heated gas giant planets that are very close to their stars, just a few million miles distant and orbiting their stellar hosts in just a few days. The reason why there isn't one in our Solar System is down to its formation. All gas giants form far from their star but then some migrate inwards.

Hot-Jupiters  will just happen to transit about 10% (that is, since orbital planes) this is consistent with the rate expected from geometry of . The actual frequencies of hot Jupiters around normal stars is surprisingly hard to figure out.

What is the quality of the sound of an ambulance's siren when it moves toward a stationary hearer? What is the quality of the so
Damm [24]

Answer:

A) As the ambulance's siren moves toward a stationary hearer, the quality of sound will have a higher pitch

B) As the ambulance's siren moves away from a stationary hearer, the quality of sound will have a lower pitch.

Explanation:

From Doppler effect, the closer the source of sound gets to the observer, the higher the frequency and in turn the higher the pitch.

Meanwhile, the farther a source goes from an observer, the lower the frequency of the sound and also the lower the pitch.

Thus, as the ambulance's siren moves toward a stationary hearer, the quality of sound will have a higher pitch.

As the ambulance's siren moves away from a stationary hearer, the quality of sound will have a lower pitch.
