A fixed pulley is different from a movable pulley because a movable pulley has one end of the rope attached to it fixed on an unmoving object. The pulley is free to move with the rope. You pull the other end of the rope. Also, a movable pulley multiplies the applied force (effort force) and therefore has more mechanical advantage. A fixed pulley is attached to something that doesn't move, while one end of the rope is holding the weight, while the other is for pulling.
A fixed pulley confers no mechanical advantage, but will convert motion in one direction into another direction.
A movable pulley system, if the pulleys change their distance from each other, will confer a mechanical advantage.

What are 2 different kinds of pulleys?
single fixed pulley, single movable pulley and single fixed and movable pulley. :-)
How can a fixed pulley and movable pulley be put together?
With the string from the movable pulley
Is a movable pulley is fixed at all points?

How are the effects of a fixed pulley different from the effects of a movable pulley?
No difference other than one is easily relocated.
Is a crane a type of a pulley?
A crane is a movable pulley
What is the difference between a fixed pulley and movable pulley?
The difference between a fixed pulley and a movable pulley is, the wheel of a fixed pulley does not move because the wheel is attached to a wall, ceiling, or other object. Unlike a fixed pulley, a movable pulley's wheel does move. The wheel on a movable pulley is not attached to a wall or other object. A fixed pulley changes work by changing the direction of a force. A movable pulley changes work by reducing the input force needed to lift heavy objects. A movable pulley changes the direction of the input force and reduced it. A movable pulley also increases the output force.
What is the definition of a combined pulley?
fixed and movable pulleys can be combined.
What are the three different types of pulleys?
The three types of pulleys are fixed pulleys, movable (or movable) pulleys, and compound pulleys. Fixed pulleys change the direction of the force applied, movable pulleys provide a mechanical advantage by reducing the force needed, and compound pulleys combine fixed and movable pulleys for increased mechanical advantage.
Would you use a fixed pulley or movable pulley to lift a heavy load?
Fixed if it weighed as less than you, but a movable pulley wouldn't be helpful here. You'd be best with a pulley with multiple supporting ropes.
How is the design of a fixed pulley different from the design of a movable pulley?
A fixed pulley is stationary and changes the direction of force, while a movable pulley moves with the load and provides a mechanical advantage by distributing the force over multiple ropes. Fixed pulleys have a single attachment point, while movable pulleys have two attachment points—one fixed and one moving.
What is a fixed and movable pulley used together?
When a fixed and movable pulley are used together, the fixed pulley is attached to a stationary object while the movable pulley is attached to the load being lifted. The combination of these pulleys allows for a mechanical advantage, making it easier to lift heavy objects by requiring less force.
