When you exert a FORCE ON AN OBJECT that causes it to move, it is called ?
WORK
There is no work without ____?
motion
Work = _____x _____
force
distance
A Joule= what?
one newton meter
A unit of work is what?
the amount of work you do when exert a force of 1 Newton to move an object a distance of 1 meter
The force required to accelerate 1kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second is called ?
Newton or a UNIT OF FORCE
A device with which you can do work in a way that is easier or more effective is called what?
A MACHINE
How does a machine make work easier?
By changing the amount of roce you exert and the distance or direction in you exert force
The force you apply to the machine is called?
INPUT OR EFFORT FORCE
The force applied by the machine is called?
OUTPUT FORCE OR RESISTANCE FORCE
For tools to be a machine it must do one of more of what 3 things?
1.multiplying force - output must be greater than input force. (ex: a lever, inclined plane)
2.multiplying distance- allows you exert force over shorter distance. (ex:hocky stick,rake,)
3. change directions-just change the direction of the force
The number of times a force applied to a machine is MULTIPLIED BY THE MACHINE is called?
mechanical advantage
What is the formula for mechanical advantage?
MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE=OUTPUT/INPUT
When the mechanical advantage is greater than 1 what happens?
More force comes out of the machine than is put into the machine
What is the Mechanical Advantage of changing direction?
Input and output are same
Mechanical advantage is 1
Force in different direction
Efficiency of Machines staes that what happens?
1. Output work is less
2. Input work is more
3. compared they equal a percentage
Formula for calculating Efficiency is what?
Output divided by input work x 100 % = efficiency
What is actual mechanical advantage?
the mechanical advantage of a machine is a REAL LIFE SITUATION
What is ideal mechanical advantage?
the advange of a machine without FRICTION. input and output are equal= 100%
A simple machine that is flat, with slanted surface is?
Inclined plane
You exert force with an inclined plane over a ______ distance?
longer
What is the advantage formula of an incline plane?
length of incline divided by height of incline
The efficiency of an inclined plane is conncected to work lost due to ______?
friction
What is a device that is thick at one end and tapers to a thin edge at the other end?
WEDGE
What is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder?
screws
What are ridgid bars that are free to pivot, rotate about a fixed point?
LEVERS
What is the fixed point on a lever which ALLOWS IT TO pivot?
FULCRUM
How do you calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of a lever using the distances between the forces and the fulcrum.
DISTANCE from fulcrum to input force DIVIDED BY distance from fulcrum to output force.
What is a 1st class lever?
Distance from fulcrum to input force is GREATER than distance from fulcrum to the ouput force
Examples of 1st class lever?
seesaw, pliers, scissors, crowbar
Can a 1st class lever change the direction of the input force?
Yes
Second class levers always _____ force?
multiply
Do second class levers CHANGE DIRECTION?
NO
What are examples of 2nd class levers?
Wheelbarrow, nutcracker, bottle opener
____ class levers multiply distance but don't change direction of the input force?
3rd
What are examples of third class levers?
shovels, baseball bats, boat paddle
What is a simple machine that is made of 2 circular or cylindrical objects are fastened together and theat rotate about a common axis?
WHEEL AND AXLE
What are the advantages of the wheel and axel?
Multiplies the force but over a longer distance
How do you calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of the wheel and axel.
Use the radius of the wheel divided by the radius of the axle
What does the variation of the wheel and axle produce?
If you apply force on the axle then the input force is applied over a short distance and the output forcer is over a long distance
What kind of machine is a grooved wheel with a rope wrapped around it. ?
PULLEY
By pulling on the rope of a pulley you can change the ____and _____of the input force
amount
direction
When you have a ___ pulley this changes the direction of the force only?
fixed
Does a fixed pully multiply the force?
no
A fixed pulley had the mechanical advantage of ____#
one
Moveable pulleys in force in the ____ direction as the output force.
same
Moveable pulleys ideal advantage is #____
2
The output force is greater or lesser than the input force?
Greater
Name a pulley system?
Block and Tackle
What is the ideal advantage of the block and tackle?
It is equal to the number of sections of the rope that supports the object.
A machine that utilizes 2 or more simple machines is a ____ ______.
Compound Machine
Describe a geer or system of geers?
toothed wheels that fit into one another
Most of the machines in your body are ______?
levers
Tendons are tough ______ tissue than connects _____ to ___.
connective tissue
muscles
bones
