  1. Work, Power, and Simple Machines

  2. The transfer of energy to an object by the application of a force that causes the object to move in the direction of the force. • work

  3. Work is calculated by multiplying the ________ times the ________ that the object moves. • Force , distance

  4. What is the unit for Force? • The Newton • What is the unit for distance? • The Meter

  5. What is the unit for Work? • Newton meters, (Nm) : Joules (J) • What is the total work done to an object that does not move? • Zero Joules

  6. How much work does a person do if they provide 20 N of force to an object to move it 2 meters? • W = Fd • (20)(2) = 40 Joules

  7. How much work is done to an object that you hold above your head for half an hour? • Zero Joules because you are not moving it a distance.

  8. The rate at which work is done. • Power • What is the equation for Power? • P = W/t • What is the unit for Power? • J/s or the Watt (W)

  9. How do machines make work easier? • They change the size of the input force, or the direction of the applied force, or both. • A quantity that represents how much a machine multiplies force or distance. • Mechanical advantage

  10. How is mechanical advantage calculated? • It is the ratio of output force to input force. • MA = output force/input force • A machine with a mechanical advantage of one or less than one does not multiply the input force. Why then is it still useful? • It may increase the speed or distance.

  11. A short ramp and a long ramp both reach a height of 1 m to load a washing machine. Which ramp has the greater mechanical advantage? • The longer ramp.

  12. How can a ramp make lifting a box easy without changing the amount of work done? • The ramp distributes the force input over a longer distance. The force is less, but the work to reach that same height is still the same. (Neglecting the additional work in the x-direction)

  13. Determine if work is being done in the following situations: • Lifting a spoon of soup. • yes • Holding a large stack of books over your head. • no • Letting a pencil fall to the ground. • yes

  14. The most basic types of machines are called _________ _______. • Simple machines • What are the six types of simple machines? • Lever, pulley, wheel and axle, inclined plane, wedge, and screw

  15. Where is the fulcrum located for a first class lever? • In the center • Where is the fulcrum located for a second or third class lever? • On one of the ends

  16. What type of lever has the fulcrum on the end and the output force in the center? • A second class lever • What type of lever has the fulcrum on one end and the output force on the other? • A third class lever

  17. The rigid arm of a lever that turns around on a point. • Fulcrum • Pulleys are modified ________. • levers

  18. What is the term for the force that you put in to using a machine? • Effort force • If you were using a machine, what force would you work against? • Resistance force

  19. The distance through which the effort force moves is the _______ ________. • Effort distance • The distance that the resistance force moves through is the _________ __________. • Resistance distance

  20. How would you increase the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane? • Increase the length of the plane. • What determines the class of a lever? • The location of the fulcrum and where the fulcrum Is located to the resistance force.

  21. A push or a pull. • Force • A measure of how much work put into a machine is changed to useful work put out by the machine. • efficiency

  22. A type of machine made up of two or more simple machines. • Compound machine. • The distance from the center of a circle to the edge. • radius

  23. A fixed pulley changes the ______ of a force. • Direction • A force that opposes motion. • Friction • A simple machine made up of two inclined planes. • A wedge

  24. An inclined plane wrapped around a cylindrical post. • a screw • The work done TO a machine is the _______ work. • Input work

  25. A machine in which the input work is equal to the output work is an _______ machine. • Ideal • A device that does work with only one movement is a _______ ________. • Simple machine

  26. The work done BY a machine is the _______ work. • Output • A doorknob is an example of a ___________. • Wheel and axle

  27. A grooved wheel with a rope or a chain running along the groove is a __________. • Pulley • A system of pulleys. • A block and tackle

  28. Wout / Win * 100 = ___________ • Efficiency • The mechanical advantage of a simple fixed pulley is always equal to ______. • one

  29. How do you calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane? • MA = l/h • How do you calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle? • MA = radius of wheel / radius of axle

  30. What is the conversion factor between horsepower and watts? • 1 hp = 746 Watts • How are work and energy related? • Work is a form of energy. It takes energy to perform work. They have the same units. Energy is always transferred from the object doing the work to the object on which the work is being done.

  31. The amount of energy the machine transfers to the object cannot be ________ than the amount of energy transferred to the machine. • Greater • The efficiency of a machine is always ____ than 100%. • less

  32. A modified form of a wheel and axle. • A gear • Identify the type of lever. • An Enterprise Bottle Opener • First Class

  33. Pliers • First Class • A Broom • Third Class (sometimes first)

  34. A fishing pole • Third Class • A Seesaw • First Class

  35. A wheelbarrow • Second Class • A Baseball Bat • Third class

  36. A hammer • First and third class • A door • Second class

  37. If the mechanical advantage is large, ____ effort is needed to accomplish work. • Less • What are the two basic equations for MA? • MA = resistance force / effort force • MA = effort distance / resistance distance

  38. How would you increase the mechanical advantage of a wedge? • Make it longer and thinner • How would you increase the mechanical advantage of a screw? • Design the threads closer together

  39. How would you increase the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle? • The larger the wheel compared to the axle, the greater the MA. • The _______ the number of ropes supporting the resistance, the greater the MA. • greater

  40. What are the two kinds of pulleys? • Fixed and movable • All levers have two ______, called the ______ arm and the __________ arm. • Arms, effort, resistance • How do you calculate the MA for a lever? • MA = effort arm / resistance arm
