A pully is something that has a pully circle and you can just pull on it to make the object move but if the object is heaver then you you need to put a movable pully so it is easier

A person does 50j of work to lift a crate using a pulley. the pulley's work output is 42j. What is the pully's mechanical efficiency?

The mechanical efficiency of the pulley is calculated as: (Work output / Work input) * 100%. In this case, it would be (42J / 50J) * 100% = 84%. The pulley is 84% efficient at converting input work into output work.


How is a fixed pully different from a movable pully?

A fixed pulley is attached to a surface and only changes the direction of the force applied, while a movable pulley is attached to the object being moved and changes both the direction and the amount of force required to move the object.


How does energy flow when a pulley is used to lift a box?

When the pully is not active, it is using potential energy. But when a person or a machine uses the pully, they use force to make Kinetic Energy and to lift the box....but that's what i know so far...but i . :)


How is the wheel and axle and pulley similar?

Both the wheel and axle and pulley are simple machines that involve rotation to make work easier. The wheel and axle use a wheel that turns on an axle to help with the transfer of force, while a pulley is a wheel with a groove that can rotate on an axle to lift or move objects by changing the direction of the force applied. Both machines multiply force and make work more efficient.


What is used with a pully to change the direction of a force?

A pulley is typically used with a rope or cable to change the direction of a force. The rope or cable wraps around the pulley, allowing the force to be redirected in a different path.
