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.

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is $I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}$

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

$I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm$

If r is $-\frac{a}{2}$

and $dm=\frac{M}{a} dr$

$I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a} } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}$

$I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\ I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}$

The potential energy of a negative charge moved from point A to point B will increase.A negative charge moved from point A to po

AysviL [449]

Answer:

<em>The K.E from A to B won't increase...</em>

Explanation:

That's because the P.E from A to B is increasing. The K.E will increase if charge moves from a higher potential to a lower potential i.e., from B to A.

That is the reason there is no effect on net K.E when moving from a potential to same potential over and over (A to C).
