WORK The use of force to move an object over a distance
Simple Machine • A machine with few or no moving parts that you apply just one force
REVIEW • What is work? • The use of force to move an object over a distance • What is a simple machine? • A machine with few or no moving parts that you apply just one force
LEVERS EQ: What is a lever and how does it help us do work?
Levers • Brain Pop
Lever • A simple machine made of a bar that pivots on a fixed point. • The fixed point is called a fulcrum
PULLEYS EQ: What is a pulley and how does it help us do work?
PULLEYS • BRAIN POP
Pulleys • A wheel with a line around it. • Two types : • Fixed Pulley – A pulley that doesn’t move. • Moveable Pulley - A pulley that moves with the load allowing for the handler to use less effort. It acts as a second class lever but does not change direction
Pulley Example • Pulley
INCLINE PLANE EQ: What is an incline plane and how does it help us do work?
INCLINED PLANE • A simple machine that is a slanted surface • It changes the amount of force needed, and changes the direction of the force.
INCLINED PLANE • How does is work? • An inclined plane lets you to lift an object by using less force. But you must move that object a greater distance. • EXAMPLE: steep hill vs. moderate hill
SCREW • A simple machine made of a post with an inclined plane wrapped around it.
INCLINED PLANE or SCREW An inclined plane wrapped around a post with a wedge at the tip. The wedge is the pointed end. The inclined plane is the thread that wraps around the screw
Screws at Work • Screws are used to hold things together.
WEDGE • A simple machine made of two inclined planes placed back-to-back.
Wedge at Work • When we apply force to a wedge, it creates a greater force redirects things outward, away from the wedge’s surfaces • Wedges are use to split, cut, or push things apart.
PULLEY = EASY LIFE • How do Pulleys make our lives easier?
Force vs. Distance • How can trading force for distance make work easier on us? B A
PULLEY vs. LEVER • How are some simple machines alike?
LEVERS CHANGINMG FORCES • How exactly does a lever change the force that is being used?
