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

X-rays are used instead of visible light because X-rays have shorter ______________ than visible light, allowing them to produce

Novay_Z [31]

X-rays have shorter wavelength than visible light. But that's hardly the reason that they're used for medical imaging. xrays have much higher frequencies then visible light which means they have much greater penetrating ability. with xrays you can see inside the body. you can't do that with a visible flashlight no matter how bright and powerful it is.

Susan's 12.0 kg baby brother Paul sits on a mat. Susan pulls the mat across the floor using a rope that is angled 30∘ above the

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:1.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of Susan $m=12 kg$

Inclination $\theta =30^{\circ}$

Tension $T=29 N$

coefficient of Friction $\mu =0.18$

Resolving Forces Along x axis

$F_x=T\cos \theta -f_r$

where $f_r=friction\ Force$

$F_y=mg-N-T\sin \theta$

since there is no movement in Y direction therefore

$N=mg-T\sin \theta$

and $f_r=\mu N$

Thus $F_x=T\cos \theta -\mu N$

$F_x=29\cos (30)-\0.18\times (12\times 9.8-29\sin (30))$

$F_x=25.114-18.558$

$F_x=6.556 N$

Work done by applied Force is equal to change to kinetic Energy

$F_x\cdot x=\frac{1}{2}\cdot mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}\cdot mv_i^2$

$6.556\times 2.7=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 12\times v_f^2$

$v_f^2=\frac{6.556\times 2.7\times 2}{12}$

$v_f^2=2.95$

$v_f=1.717 m/s$
