How efficient is a pulley system if an operator has to pull 2.5m of rope to lift a 250 N pail of water a distance of 4.5 m?

Answer:

the pulley system is very efficient

Explanation:

Given;

load, L  = 250 N

distance moved by the load, a = 4.5 m

distance moved by the effort, e = 2.5 m

let the force or effort applied = F

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

F x e = L x a

F = (L x a) / e

F = (250 x 4.5) / 2.5

F = 450 N

The efficient of the pulley system;

E = Output force / Input force

E = (450 x 2.5) / (250 x 4.5)

E = 1 = 100%

Therefore, the pulley system is very efficient

What is the difference between internal and external force
AnnZ [28]

Answer:External forces are forces caused by external agent outside of the system. Internal forces are forces exchanged by the objects in the system.

Explanation:or our purposes, we will simply say that external forces include the applied force, normal force, tension force, friction force, and air resistance force. And for our purposes, the internal forces include the gravity forces, magnetic force, electrical force, and spring force.HOPE THIS HELPS!!! ^w^

The weight of a basketball with a mass of 0.5 kg is _N.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

4.9N

Explanation:

The formula for weight is F = ma.

You plug in the mass of 0.5kg and an acceleration of 9.8 to get

F = (0.5)(9.8)

F = 4.9N

Your classmate says that if all the molecules in a particular liquid had the same speed, and some were able to evaporate, the re
babymother [125]
The molecules which evaporate presumably take heat away from the liquid. So, I'd disagree with the classmate. Whether the amount of cooling would differ from the usual case wherein the molecules have different speeds is another question. 
I guess the argument goes something along the lines of that the faster moving and therefore most kinetically energetic molecues evaporate and take away most heat. But if there's no faster moving molecules, 'cos they all have the same speed well, then presumably they'd all take away the same amount of heat. So, maybe the cooling would be less. No cooling though ??? Hmmmm dunno .... i think not ....

You have a 2.2 m long copper wire. you want to make an n-turn current loop that generates a 1.9 mt magnetic field at the center
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
The trick here is that there are two variables, Diameter of the coil and number of turns in it. So, in order to solve it, we will need two equations in D and N
Since we are making coil, formula for magnetic field will be B = μₒni/D
D = μₒni/B = 4π x 10^(-7) x (N) x (2.2) / (1.6)x10^(-3) = 1.7 x 10^(-3) x N = D
Another equation will be from the wire's length.
Total length = Circumference of one loop x No. of turns = πD x N = 2.2
We will eliminate N because we need D.
N = 2.2 / πD
Substitute in 1st equation.
1.7 x 10^(-3) x 2.2 / π = D^2
<span> D = 0.034 m = 3.4 cm </span>
