Pulley

What is the mechanical advantage of using a pulley?

• It allows a person to lift heavier loads with less effort.

• It increases the speed of lifting loads.

• It reduces the weight of the load being lifted.

• It eliminates the need for any effort in lifting.

What part of the pulley does the rope fit into?

• The rim of the wheel

• The groove of the wheel

• The axle of the pulley

• The base of the pulley

What is the difference between a single pulley and a pulley system?

• A single pulley consists of one wheel and rope, while a pulley system can have multiple pulleys working together.

• A single pulley is used for lifting heavy objects, while a pulley system is only for light objects.

• A single pulley can only change the direction of force, while a pulley system can also increase the force applied.

• A single pulley is always fixed, while a pulley system can be either fixed or movable.

What is a pulley?

• A device used to lift heavy objects using a lever.

• A simple machine that consists of a rope and a grooved wheel.

• A type of wheel that rotates on an axle without any rope.

• A mechanism that converts rotational motion into linear motion.

How do pulleys make work easier?

• By increasing the weight of the load

• By allowing the user to apply force in a more efficient direction

• By reducing the amount of work needed

• By changing the direction of the load only

What is the purpose of a pulley?

• To lift heavy objects more easily by changing the direction of the force applied.

• To reduce friction in machines.

• To store energy for later use.

• To increase the speed of a moving object.

What is an example of a pulley in everyday life?

• A flagpole, where the flag is raised and lowered using a pulley system.

• A bicycle, which uses gears to change speed.

• A door, which swings open and closed on hinges.

• A window, which slides up and down on tracks.

What is an example of a movable pulley?

• A construction crane that lifts heavy materials.

• A bicycle wheel that rotates on an axle.

• A flagpole that raises and lowers a flag.

• A simple lever used to lift a rock.

How many types of pulleys are there?

• 1 type: fixed

• 2 types: fixed and movable

• 3 types: fixed, movable, and compound

• 4 types: fixed, movable, block and tackle

Can a pulley change the direction of force?

• Yes, a pulley can change the direction of the force applied to lift an object.

• No, a pulley cannot change the direction of force.

• A pulley can only increase the amount of force applied.

• A pulley is used only for lowering objects, not for changing direction.
