See how a block and tackle system can increase your mechanical advantage. You will need two broomsticks, a rope, and two helpers

.
A. Give each helper a broom stick and have them stand facing each other holding the broomstick firmly in both hands in a horizontal position. The broomsticks should be at the same level, about two feet apart.


B. Tie one end of the rope to one of the broomsticks. (You may need to have one of your helpers hold the knot firmly in one hand as he or she holds the broomstick to help anchor it.)


C. Wrap the rope around the other broomstick, as in a simple pulley system, and pull on the free end of the rope. Your helpers should resist your pulling. What happens? Can you pull the broomsticks together?


D. Now weave the rope back over the first broomstick, so you have a double pulley. Pull on the free end. What happens now? Can you pull the broomsticks together? What is your mechanical advantage?


E. Try weaving the rope over the broomsticks one or two more times. Describe what happens, and state the mechanical advantage of each situation.


F. Write a summary of what happened and an explanation using the terms:


force

distance

work

mechanical advantage

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

graph would be a straight line from (0, 0) to (400, 8)

Plot points are

PE = mgh

50(0) = 0 J

50(2) = 100 J

50(4) = 200 J

50(6) = 300 J

50(8) = 400 J

You and a friend each carry identical boxes from the first floor of a building to a room located on the second floor, farther do
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Work done in both the cases will be same

Explanation:

As we know that the work done against gravity is given as

W = F_g .d

here we know that gravitational force is a conservative force and the work done against gravitational force is independent of the path

So here the work done by person to move the object between two different heights will be independent of the path they choose

So for the first person and second person will be same in both the cases because the height through which the boxes are transferred will be same in both the cases

A 600g toy train completes 10 laps of its circular track in 1 min 20s. If the radius of the track is 1.2 m, Find the centripetal
Lynna [10]

Wow !  This will take more than one step, and we'll need to be careful
not to trip over our shoe laces while we're stepping through the problem.

The centripetal acceleration of any object moving in a circle is

                          (speed-squared)  /  (radius of the circle)  .

Notice that we won't need to use the mass of the train.

We know the radius of the track.  We don't know the trains speed yet,
but we do have enough information to figure it out.  That's what we
need to do first.

Speed  =  (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).

Distance = 10 laps of the track.   Well how far is that ? ? ?

1 lap = circumference of the track = (2π) x (radius) =  2.4π  meters

10 laps =  24π  meters.

Time = 1 minute 20 seconds  =  80 seconds

The trains speed is  (distance) / (time)

                               =  (24π meters) / (80 seconds)

                               =        0.3 π  meters/second .

NOW ... finally, we're ready to find the centripetal acceleration.

                                 <span> (speed)²  /  (radius)

                           =    (0.3π m/s)²  /  (1.2 meters)

                           =    (0.09π m²/s²)  /  (1.2 meters)

                           =    (0.09π  /  1.2)   m/s²

                           =          0.236  m/s²  .        (rounded)

If there's another part of the problem that wants you to find
the centripetal FORCE ...

Well,       Force = (mass) · (acceleration) .

We know the mass, and we ( I ) just figured out the acceleration,
so you'll have no trouble calculating the centripetal force.       </span>
