a single pulley only has one pulley. It can be called a movable pulley or single fixed pulley. A single pulley can have the effort going up or down.

What are types of pulleys?
There are fixed, moveable, and compound pulleys.
What is the definition of a single movable pulley?
Movable pulley is attache to the object you are moving while Fixed Pulley changes direction of the applied force.LaDy_caRoLi "Christine carren alcantara"
What are 2 different kinds of pulleys?
single fixed pulley, single movable pulley and single fixed and movable pulley. :-)
Which is the simple machine that provides the mechanical advantage of 1 the screw second class lever single fixed pulley or single movable pulley?
Single Pulley
What pulley system creates just directional advantage?
Single fixed pulley
What kind of pulley is raising sails on a boat?
A single moveable pulley.
When you lift very heavy weights what pulley system are you using?
Single Moveable
What is 1 moveable pulley attached to a load?
A single moveable pulley attached to a load reduces the amount of force needed to lift the load by half. The pulley is free to move up and down, allowing for easier lifting and lowering of the load.
What are the types of pulley?
movable single multiple fixed inclined
What arrangement of moveable and fixed pulleys would give a mechanical advantage of 3?
One fixed pulley and two moveable pulleys would give a mechanical advantage of 3. The rope would go through the fixed pulley, then the first moveable pulley, back through the fixed pulley, and finally through the second moveable pulley.
Which pulley has a cobination of fixed and moveable pulleys?
pulley system
What is the mechanical advantage a single movable pulley?
E=l/2 2=l/e or l/e=2 ma =l/e ma of single moveable pulley is : l/e=2
Does a moveable pulley multiply the input force?
Yes. The IMA of a movable pulley is 2.
What is the mechanical advantage of each pulley system?
A single fixed pulley has a mechanical advantage of 1, as it only changes the direction of the force. A moveable pulley system has a mechanical advantage of 2, as it reduces the force required by half. A block and tackle system, which combines fixed and moveable pulleys, can have a mechanical advantage greater than 2, depending on the number of pulleys used.
What are types of pulleys?
There are fixed, moveable, and compound pulleys.
WHY IS MOVEABLE PULLEY MORE USEFUL THAN FIXED PULLEY?
A moveable pulley is more useful than a fixed pulley because it allows for a mechanical advantage, making it easier to lift heavy loads. With a moveable pulley, the effort force is reduced as the load force is distributed between the two sections of the rope supporting the load. This results in less force required to lift the load compared to using a fixed pulley.
What is the advantage of a moveable pulley?
A moveable pulley reduces the amount of force needed to lift an object by distributing the load between two sections of the rope. This type of pulley system also allows for the direction of the lifting force to be changed, making it easier to lift heavy objects vertically.
