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

A runner generates 1260 W of thermal energy. If this heat has to be removed only by evaporation, how much water does this runner

sergey [27]

Answer:0.502kg

Explanation:

F4om the relation

Power x time = mass x latent heat of vapourization

P.t=ML

1260 * 15 *60 = M * 22.6 * 10^5

M= 1134000/(22.6 *10^5)

M=0.502kg=502g

A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 37.6 vibrations

tangare [24]

Answer:

$\lambda = 25.79\ cm$

Explanation:

given,

Wave vibrates = 37.6

time = 27.9 s

maximum distance travel = 450 cm

time = 11.3 s

wavelength = ?

frequency of wave

$f=\dfrac{37.6}{27.9}$

f = 1.35 Hz

Speed of wave

$v = \dfrac{450}{11.3}$

v = 39.82 cm/s

wavelength of wave

v = fλ

$\lambda =\dfrac{v}{f}$

$\lambda =\dfrac{34.82}{1.35}$

$\lambda = 25.79\ cm$

Hence, wavelength of the wave is equal to 25.79 cm.

A ray of light in glass strikes a water-glass interface at an angle of incidence equal to one-half the critical angle for that i

fomenos

Answer:

Explanation:

There will not be any internal reflection . it will be only refraction

critical angle = θ

Sinθ = 1 / μg

μg = 1.43 / 1.33 =

Sinθ = 1.33 / 1.43

= .93

θ = 68.44

angle of incidence i = 68.44 / 2

= 34.22

Sin i / Sin r = μw = 1.33 / 1.43

= .93

sin 34.22 / sinθ₁ = .93 , θ₁ is angle of refraction.

sinθ₁ = sin 34.22 / .93

= .5623 / .93

= .6047

θ₁ = 37 degree Ans
