  4. WHAT IS WORK? • In science you do work on an object when you exert a force on the object that causes the object to move some distance • In order for you to do work the object must move some distance as a result of the force.

  5. NO WORK! • In order for you to do work on an object, the force you exert must be in the same direction as the object’s motion

  6. CALCULATING WORK • Remember- The amount of work done on an object is found by multiplying force times distance W=F x D Example- To help rearrange the desks in Mr. Speer’s room you exert a force of 20N to push a desk 10m. How much work do you do?

  7. SOLUTION • Work = force x distance Work = 20N x 10m Work =200Nm 200 Nm is the same as 200 Joules!

  8. WHAT IS A MACHINE? • A machine is a device that allows you to do work in a way that is easier or more effective. • NOT always complex. • NOT always run by electricity • Does NOT decrease the amount of work that is done.

  9. A machine makes work easier by: • changing the amount of force you exert • changing the distance over which you exert the force • Changing the direction in which you exert the force

  10. Input force Output force fulcrum changes both changes size changes direction What do machines do?

  11. When you use a machine to do work, there is always an exchange, or tradeoff, between the force you use and the distance over which you apply that force. You can use less force over a greater distance or a greater force over a shorter distance to do the same amount of work.

  12. Mechanical Advantage • The force that you apply on a machine is theinput force. • The work you do on the machine is equal to the input force times the distance over which your force moves the machine. • The work that you do on the machine is the input work.

  13. Mechanical Advantage • The force that the machine applies is theoutput force. • The work that the machine does is the output work. • When you use a machine, the output work can never be greater than the input work.

  14. Mechanical Advantage • What is the advantage of using a machine? • A machine makes work easier by changing the amount of force you need to exert, the distance over which the force is exerted, or the direction in which you exert your force.

  15. Mechanical Advantage • Even though machines make work easier, theydon’tdecrease the amount of work you need to do. • Instead, a machine changes the way in which you do work.

  16. MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE (M.A.) & EFFICIENCY • A machine’s Mechanical Advantage (M.A.) is the number of times a force exerted on a machine is multiplied by the machine.

  17. Multiplying Distance In some machines the output force is less than the input force. Why would you want to use a machine like this? THINK:

  18. Changing Distance • Some machines allow you to exert your force over a shorter distance. • In these machines, the output force is less than the input force.

  19. Changing Distance • The mechanical advantage of this type of machine is less than one because the output force is less than the input force.

  20. Changing Direction Some machine don’t multiply either force or distance. What could be the advantage of these machines?

  21. Changing Direction • Sometimes it is easier to apply a force in a certain direction. • For example, it is easier to pull down on a rope than to pull up on it. • Some machines enable you to change the direction of the input force.

  22. Changing Direction • In these machines neither the force nor the distance is changed. • The mechanical advantage of this type of machine is equal to one because the output force is equal to the input force.

  23. Multiplying Force In some machines, the output force is greater than the input force. THINK: How can you exert a smaller force than is necessary for a job if the amount of work is the same? Remember: Work =fxd Think about a ramp…

  24. Changing Force • Some machines make doing work easier by reducing the force you have to apply to do work. • This type of machine increases the input force, so that the output force is greater than the input force.

  25. Changing Force • The number of times a machine increases the input force is the mechanical advantage of the machine.

  26. Changing Force • The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the output force to the input force and can be calculated from this equation:

  27. Calculating Efficiency So far we have pretended that the work you put into a machine (input) is exactly equal to the work done by the machine (output). In reality, output is always less than input. Why? Much of our input work is lost to friction Efficiency is a comparison of the output work to the input work.

  28. EFFICIENCY = OUTPUT/INPUT x 100% • Example- You cut the lawn with a hand lawn mower. You do 250,000 J of work to move the mower. If the work done by the mower in cutting the lawn is 200,000J, what is the efficiency of the lawn mower?

  29. SOLUTION E=O/I x 100% 200,000/250,000 x 100% .8 x 100% = 80%

  30. ACTUAL vs. IDEAL M.A. • The M.A. a machine provides in a real situation is called the Actual M.A. • It can only be determine by measuring the true output & the true input.

  31. THE SIMPLE SIX • So just what ARE the simple machines? WEDGE (really just a special inclined plane) SCREW (really just an inclined plane wrapped around a stick) INCLINED PLANE (think “ramp”) LEVER WHEEL & AXEL PULLEY (really just a wheel with a groove)

  32. An inclined plane that moves is called awedge. • A wedge can have one or two sloping sides. • An axe and certain types of doorstops are wedges. • Just as for an inclined plane, the mechanical advantage of a wedge increases as it becomes longer and thinner.

  33. Ascrewis an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder or post. • The inclined plane on a screw forms the screw threads. • Just like a wedge changes the direction of the effort force applied to it, a screw also changes the direction of the applied force.

  34. When you turn a screw, the force applied is changed by the threads to a force that pulls the screw into the material. • The mechanical advantage of the screw is the length of the inclined plane wrapped around the screw divided by the length of the screw.

  35. A lever is any rigid rod or plank that pivots, or rotates, about a point. • The point about which the lever pivots is called a fulcrum.

  36. The mechanical advantage of a lever is found by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the input force by the distance from the fulcrum to the output force.

  37. Inclined Plane • An inclined planeis a flat, sloped surface. • Less force is needed to move an object from one height to another using an inclined plane than is needed to lift the object. • As the inclined plane becomes longer, the force needed to move the object becomes smaller.

  38. Using Inclined Planes • Imagine having to lift a box weighing 1,500 N to the back of a truck that is 1 m off the ground. • You would have to exert a force of 1,500 N, the weight of the box, over a distance of 1 m, which equals 1,500 J of work.

  39. Using Inclined Planes • Now suppose that instead you use a 5-m-long ramp. • The amount of work you need to do does not change.

  40. Using Inclined Planes • You still need to do 1,500 J of work. However, the distance over which you exert your force becomes 5 m.

  41. Using Inclined Planes • If you do 1,500 J of work by exerting a force over 5 m, the force is only 300 N. • Because you exert the input force over a distance that is five times as long, you can exert a force that is five times less.

  42. Using Inclined Planes • The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the length of the inclined plane divided by its height. • In this example, the ramp has a mechanical advantage of 5.

  43. In a first-class lever, the fulcrum is between the input force and the output force. • First-class levers multiply force or distance depending on where the fulcrum is placed.

  44. In a second-class lever, the output force is between the input force and the fulcrum. • Second-class levers always multiply the input force but don’t change its direction.

  45. In a third-class lever, the input force is between the output force and the fulcrum. • For a third-class lever, the output force is less than the input force, but is in the same direction.

  46. A wheel and axle consists of two circular objects of different sizes that are attached in such a way that they rotate together. • As you can see, the larger object is the wheel and the smaller object is the axle.

  47. Wheel and Axle • The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is usually greater than one. • It is found by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle.

  48. Using Wheels and Axles • In some devices, the input force is used to turn the wheel and the output force is exerted by the axle. • Because the wheel is larger than the axle, the mechanical advantage is greater than one. • So the output force is greater than the input force.

  49. Using Wheels and Axles • In other devices, the input force is applied to turn the axle and the output force is exerted by the wheel. • Then the mechanical advantage is less than one and the output force is less than the input force. • A fan and a ferris wheel are examples of this type of wheel and axle.
