The only function of the pulleys in the diagram is to change the direction

of the force applied to raise the bricks.

<h3>What is a Pulley?</h3>

A pulley is a wheel which has a flexible rope on its rim and helps to

transmit energy and motion.

In the diagram given, we can see that the pulley is used to raise a mass of

block by three people. They pull the rope horizontally in order to raise the

block vertically. This means that it was used to change the direction of the

applied force.

choli [55]

Answer:

the velocity of car when it passes the truck is u = 16.33 m/s

Explanation:

given,

constant speed of truck = 28 m/s

acceleration of car = 1.2 m/s²

passes the truck in 545 m

speed of the car when it just pass the truck = ?

time taken by the truck to travel 545 m

time = $\dfrac{distance}{speed}$

time = $\dfrac{545}{28}$

time =19.46 s

velocity of the car when it crosses the truck

$S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$545= u\times 19.46 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \times 19.46^2$

u = 16.33 m/s

the velocity of car when it passes the truck is u = 16.33 m/s

A 35.9 g mass is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 18.4 N/m and released from rest with an amplitude of

lidiya [134]

Answer:

7.74m/s

Explanation:

Mass = 35.9g = 0.0359kg

A = 39.5cm = 0.395m

K = 18.4N/m

At equilibrium position, there's total conservation of energy.

Total energy = kinetic energy + potential energy

Total Energy = K.E + P.E

½KA² = ½mv² + ½kx²

½KA² = ½(mv² + kx²)

KA² = mv² + kx²

Collect like terms

KA² - Kx² = mv²

K(A² - x²) = mv²

V² = k/m (A² - x²)

V = √(K/m (A² - x²) )

note x = ½A

V = √(k/m (A² - (½A)²)

V = √(k/m (A² - A²/4))

Resolve the fraction between A.

V = √(¾. K/m. A² )

V = √(¾ * (18.4/0.0359)*(0.395)²)

V = √(0.75 * 512.53 * 0.156)

V = √(59.966)

V = 7.74m/s

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let initial extension in the spring= x₀

Force on the spring = F₀

Let spring constant = k

Fo = k x₀

Fn = 3k x₀

Fn /Fo = 3

PEs0 ( ORIGINAL) =1/2 k x₀²

PEsn ( NEW) =1/2 k (3x₀)²

PEsn / PEs0 = 9
