Simple machines • Means a machine that only uses the forces directly applied and accomplishes its work with a simple motion. • Basic simple machines include gears(wedge) screw, pulleys, wheel and axle, ramp (inclined plane) lever
Simple machines • Input force is the force that you apply • Output force is the force that does the action
Mechanical Advantage • MA of a Lever • MAlever = Linput • Loutput • L stands for length
Mechanical Advantage • Of pulleys is due to force of tension • Noted as the amount of ropes • MA = output force • input force
Mechanical Advantage • Input gear is the one you turn or apply forces to • Output gear is connected to the output of the machine • Gear ration is the ratio of output turns to input turns • MA = input torque divided by output torque or the inverse of gear ratio
Mechanical Advantage • MA = distance along the ramp divided by the height of the ramp • Friction causes high MA of ramps to not work
Mechanical Advantage • Screw is a simple machine that turns rotating motion into linear motion • MA = average circumference of the thread divided by the vertical distance is the head of the screw
Work • Always done in a parallel direction • W= fd • W= Fd cosine of the angle • W = mgd or mgh • Input work never equals output work because of friction
Energy • Energy is the ability to make things change. • Work is the action of making things change.
Forms of Energy • Mechanical energy • Light energy • Nuclear energy • Electrical energy • Chemical energy • Thermal energy • Pressure energy
Potential energy • Means that something is capable of becoming active. • Calculate Potential energy or Ep • Ep = mgh • Rate of work = mgh divided by time (s)
Kinetic energy • Energy of motion • Kinetic energy equals Ek • Ek = ½ mv2
Deriving the formula for Ek • Step 1 Work is force times distance, but force is mass times acceleration. The work done on an object is therefore its mass X acceleration X distance. • W =Fd =(ma) X d = mad
Deriving the formula for Ek • 2. The kinetic energy formula involves only mass and speed. In chapter 4 you found a relationship between distance traveled acceleration, and time. • . D = 1/2at2
Deriving the formula for Ek • 3. Replacing distance in the equation for work and combining similar terms creates: • W = ma(1/2at2) = 1/2ma2r2
Deriving the formula for Ek • 4. When an object starts from at rest with constant acceleration, its speed is equal to its acceleration multiplied by the time it has been accelerating. Mathematically, v =at, therefore v2 =a2r2. This is the result that is needed. Replace the a2r2 with v2 and the resulting work is exactly the formula for kinetic energy.
Deriving the formula for Ek • v = at v2 = a2r2 • W = ½ma2r2 W = ½mv2
Law of conservation of energy • Energy can never be created or destroyed only changed from one form to another
