Answer:
Explanation:
An object in free fall, NOT experiencing parabolic motion, has an equation of
which says:
The height of an object with respect to time in seconds is equal to the pull of gravity times time-squared plus the height from which it was dropped. Normally we use -9.8 for gravity but you said to use 10, so be it.
For us, h(t) is 5 because we are looking for the height of the window when the object is 5 m off the ground at .5 seconds;
g = 10 m/s/s, and
t = .5sec
+h and
5 = -5(.5)² + h and
5 = -5(.25) + h and
5 = -1.25 + h so
h = 6.25
That's how high the window is above the ground.

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
