Explain why pulleys are in the lever family.

Physics

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

Ultraviolet rays are used to _____.
NeTakaya

Answer:

Grow plants where little light is available

Explanation:

The plants need the ultraviolet rays in order to be able to survive and develop. The need mainly comes from the dependence of these rays for production of food, in a process known as photosynthesis. The plants are producers, thus they create their own food. In order to be able to do that they are using the ultraviolet rays, as well as water, and carbon dioxide. By combining them, the plants manage to create glucose for them, and that is their food source. The plants that are kept at places where there's not enough light are often exposed to ultraviolet rays so that they are able to perform the process of photosynthesis and grow properly.

A cat jumps from 2.5-meter-tall bookshelf to a 1.3-meter-tall countertop. If the cat
UkoKoshka [18]

The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J.

<h3 /><h3>Potential Energy:</h3>

This is the energy due to the position of a body. The S.I unit is Joules (J)

The formula for change in potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Formula:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = mg(H-h).............. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = Change in potential energy
  • m = mass of the cat
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • H = First height
  • h = second height.

From the question,

<h3>Given:</h3>
  • m = 15 kg
  • H = 2.5 m
  • h = 1.3 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8(2.5-1.3)
  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8×1.2
  • ΔP.E = 176.4 J.

Hence, The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J
