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

When you drive through deep water, you should dry out your brakes by _____________. pumping your brakes and driving in low gear
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

By Applying pressure to the brakes

Explanation:

Driving cars through deep water that is more than 10cm can make the cars to float. Most modern cars are usually water- tight so they can start to float through water that is about 30cm deep, fast moving water is very powerful so one needs to be very careful when driving.

If the brakes are wet test them by pressing or tapping on them gently.

You can as well dry brakes by driving in low gear and applying pressure to the brakes.

An airplane is flying at a speed of 45 m/s when it drops a 40 kg food package to the Polar exploration team. If the plane drops
Alina [70]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation, so the potential energy in the package must be equivalent to its kinetic energy. From there we will find the speed of the package in the vertical component. The horizontal component is given, as it is the same as the one the plane is traveling to. Vectorially we will end up finding its magnitude. So,

PE = KE

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Here,

m = Mass

g = Gravity

h = Height

v = Velocity

Rearranging to find the velocity

v = \sqrt{2gh}

Replacing,

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(120)}

v = 48.49m/s

Using the vector properties the magnitude of the velocity vector would be given by,

|V| = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

|V| = \sqrt{45^2+48.42^2}

|V| = 66.2m/s

Therefore the package is moving to 66.2m/s
