By applying a force of 50N, a pulley system can lift a box with a mass of 20 Kg. What is the mechanical advantage of the pulley system?
For a MA of 1 then 2 newtons would be required to lift 20 KG F = Mass Acceleration = 20* 10 = 200 Newtons so to lift the same mass with 50 newtons then the mechanical advantage must be 200/50 = 4 answer
If your weight is 500 N, and you are standing on a floor that is 20m above the ground, what is the gravitational potential energy between you and Earth, relative to the ground?
GPE = mgh w = mg GPE = wh GPE = ? w = 500 N h = 20 m GPE = 500 N x 20 m GPE = 10,000 J
gravitational potential energy equation

what is the efficiency of a machine if your work on the machine is 1,200j and the machines output work is 300J?
Percent efficientcy= Work (out)/Work (in) x 100% 1200/300 *100=400 J
What power is used by a machine to perform 800 J of work in 25s?
Power = energy/time During those 25 seconds, the machine is doing work at the rate of 800/25 = 32 watts. We don't know how much power the machine must consume in order to perform work at that rate, but we know it's more than 32 watts.
