Answer
(i) From relation,
we can say that M.A. and effort are inversely related.
Therefore, we get,
The reason is that the mechanical advantage of a single movable pulley is 2 while that of a single fixed pulley is 1.
(ii) The difference between uniform circular motion and uniform linear motion is as follows:
| Uniform circular motion | Uniform linear motion |
|---|---|
| In a uniform circular motion the velocity is variable (although the speed is uniform), so it is an accelerated motion. | In uniform linear motion the speed and velocity are constant and acceleration is zero i.e., the uniform linear motion is an unaccelerated motion. |
(ii) Nuclear fission
