Explain why pulleys are in the lever family.

Physics
1 answer:
Aleks04 [339]3 years ago
3 0

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

The plastic jars of the air capacitor represent the parallel conducting plates.

<h3>What is Air capacitor?</h3>

Air capacitor is a type of capacitor that uses air as its dielectric. The simplest air capacitors will contain two conductive plates separated by an air gap.

This capacitor stores and releases electricity in the circuit using;

  • air as the electrical source,
  • balloon as the insulator and
  • the plastic jar as the parallel conducting plates.

Thus, the plastic jars of the air capacitor represent the parallel conducting plates.

A motion sensor emits sound, and detects an echo 0.0115 s after. A short time later, it again emits a sound, and hears an echo a
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

1.17 m

Explanation:

From the question,

s₁ = vt₁/2................ Equation 1

Where s₁ = distance of the reflecting object for the first echo, v = speed of the sound in air, t₁ = time to dectect the first echo.

Given: v = 343 m/s, t = 0.0115 s

Substitute into equation 1

s₁ = (343×0.0115)/2

s₁ = 1.97 m.

Similarly,

s₂ = vt₂/2.................. Equation 2

Where s₂ = distance of the reflecting object for the second echo, t₂ = Time taken to detect the second echo

Given: v = 343 m/s, t₂ = 0.0183 s

Substitute into equation 2

s₂ = (343×0.0183)/2

s₂ = 3.14 m

The distance moved by the reflecting object from s₁ to s₂ = s₂-s₁

s₂-s₁ =  (3.14-1.97) m = 1.17 m

Suppose you apply a force of 75 N to a 25-kg object. What will the acceleration of the object b? (Remember a=F/m)
Vlada [557]

I would choose the option B.

F = ma

a = 75 / 25 = 3 m/s^2
