What is the relationship between the distance objects are lifted off the ground from a pulley to the distance the rope is pulled?

There are two cases:If the pulley is fixed to an overhead beam then the distance the object moves will be the same as the distance that the rope is pulled.If one end of the rope is fixed to an overhead beam and the pulley is free to move then the distance the object moves will be one-half the distance that the rope is pulled.


Can a train run by electricity produced by wind energy?

Suppose we are constructing an overhead tank and by using a high discharge pump water is filled. An input to a water turbine driven generator is given from this overhead tank. Then the out put (Electrical energy produced by generator) is given to drive this pump. What will be the final result. Same will be the result if you try to drive a train with wind energy.


Why aren't the cables between pylons covered in plastic?

Household wires and electricity flexes are covered in plastic so that you do not touch the metal core by accident as it carries the electricity. But the overhead lines carried by pylons and in substations are not insulated at all as any way they are out of reach and insulating them adds up unnecessary costs. Pylons have ceramic or glass insulators to support the overhead lines so that electricity is kept away from the pylon itself.


What pulleys are attached to an overhead structure and change the direction of force?

Lifting pulleys are attached to an overhead structure, and change the direction of force. You pull down, and the pulley pulls up.

What kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electricity?

Current electricity is the kind of electricity that is caused by a continuous flow of electricity. In order for this to happen there must be a voltage present across a conductor, for example in overhead power lines.

What is overheads?

Overhead are costs that are indirectly related to the sales process. For example, the cost of electricity in a factory is an overhead cost in the production of toys. To clarify - overhead costs are expenses not directly related to the production of goods for sale. While electricity would be an example of an overhead expense in a office, etc... in a manufacturing environment where electricity is directly tied to the usage of machines used to produce items (in this example toys) it would be better classified as a cost of goods sold. In almost all cases an expense such as real estate taxes or routine building maintenance would be consdiered overhead.

What does aluminum foil do to electricity?

Aluminum is a good conductor of electricity. While it won't actively "do" anything to electricity, it will pass electric current if it used as part of a circuit. Aluminum is used in overhead power transmission lines as it is lighter than an equivalent copper conductor.
