Pulley Simple Machine

What is a pulley?

• A type of fruit

• A type of car

• A type of bird

• A wheel with a groove and a rope or belt

How does a pulley make work easier?

• By increasing the weight to be lifted

• By making the rope longer

• By reducing the mechanical advantage

• By distributing the weight over multiple ropes and wheels

What are the different types of pulleys?

• Single pulley, double pulley, and triple pulley

• Fixed pulley, movable pulley, and compound pulley

• Wooden pulley, metal pulley, and plastic pulley

• Round pulley, square pulley, and triangular pulley

Explain the concept of mechanical advantage in relation to pulleys.

• Mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force to the input force in a pulley system.

• Mechanical advantage is the temperature at which a pulley system works.

• Mechanical advantage is the speed at which a pulley system operates.

• Mechanical advantage is the color of the pulley used in a system.

What are some real-life examples of pulleys?

• Computers, smartphones, and televisions

• Cars, bicycles, and airplanes

• Books, pencils, and paper

• Elevators, construction cranes, and flagpoles

Describe the function of a fixed pulley.

• Increases the weight of the object being lifted

• Changes the direction of the force applied to move an object

• Does not change the direction of the force

• Causes the object to move faster

Explain the function of a movable pulley.

• It changes the color of the object being lifted

• It changes the direction of the force applied and reduces the amount of force needed to lift an object.

• It increases the amount of force needed to lift an object

• It has no effect on the force needed to lift an object

What is a compound pulley and how does it work?

• A compound pulley is a system of pulleys that work together to increase mechanical advantage.

• A compound pulley is a simple machine that works by using gears to lift heavy objects.

• A compound pulley is a device that uses electricity to lift heavy objects.

• A compound pulley is a type of lever that uses a fulcrum to lift heavy objects.

Discuss the significance of pulleys in everyday life.

• Pulleys are only used in rare, specialized situations

• Pulleys increase the amount of force needed to lift heavy objects

• Pulleys reduce the amount of force needed to lift heavy objects

• Pulleys have no impact on lifting heavy objects

How can pulleys be used to lift heavy objects?

• By decreasing the number of ropes and pulleys used

• By making it more difficult to lift the object

• By distributing the weight of the object across multiple ropes and pulleys, making it easier to lift.

• By increasing the weight of the object
