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

What is the amount of work done when JoAnne throws a baseball 2 meters at a force of 40
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Amount of work done by Joanne = 80 joule

Explanation:

Given:

Displacement of ball = 2 meters

Force applied = 40 newtons

Find:

Amount of work done by Joanne

Computation;

Work done = Force applied x Displacement

Amount of work done by Joanne = Force applied x Displacement of ball

Amount of work done by Joanne = 40 x 2

Amount of work done by Joanne = 80 joule
