  1. Work & Simple Machines Review

  2. Define / Describe WORK

  3. Define / Describe WORK • Work is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction that the force is applied. • The formula for work is: W = F X D • If there is no movement, there is no work

  4. Two things must happen for work to be done. What are they?

  5. Two things must happen for work to be done. What are they? • A force must applied to an object • The object must move in the same direction as the force.

  6. What is purpose of a machine?

  7. What is purpose of a machine? • To make work easier.

  8. How do machines make work easier?

  9. How do machines make work easier? • They can change the amount of force • They can change the distance (Remember that Work = Force X Distance) • They can also change the direction MORE

  10. How do machines make work easier? Any change in the size of the force changes the distance. No machine can increase both force and distance. • Multiply force which decreases distance the load moves. • Multiply the distance which decreases force. • Or, they leave force and distance alone but change the direction in which the load moves.

  11. What is mechanical advantage?

  12. What is mechanical advantage? The number of times a machine multiplies the effort force.

  13. What are the 3 types of simple machines?

  14. What are the 3 types of simple machines? • There are three simple machines: • the lever, the pulley, and the inclined plane The wheel and axle, the wedge, and the screw are modifications of the three simple machines.

  15. Describe PULLEYS

  16. Describe PULLEYS A simple machine made with a rope, belt or chain wrapped around a grooved wheel. A pulley works two ways.

  17. Diagrams of Pulleys Fixed pulley: http://www.smartown.com/sp2000/machines2000/pulley2.htm Movable Pulley: http://www.smartown.com/sp2000/machines2000/pulley3.htm

  18. How does a pulley work?

  19. How does a pulley work? A pulley works two ways. It can change the direction of a force or it can change the amount of force.

  20. What are the types of pulleys?

  21. What are the types of pulleys? • Fixed pulley Does not multiply force. Changes the direction of the effort force. Mechanical advantage is equal to one. • Movable pulley Multiplies effort force but cannot change direction of the effort force. Mechanical advantage is the effort distance divided by the resistance distance. • Pulley system A combination of fixed and movable pulleys. Mechanical advantage is equal to the number of supporting ropes.

  22. How does a fixed pulley work?

  23. How does a fixed pulley work? A fixed pulley changes the direction of the applied force. ( Ex. Raising a flag )

  24. How does a moveable pulley work?

  25. How does a moveable pulley work? A movable pulley is attached to the object that is being moved.

  26. What is an inclined plane?

  27. What is an inclined plane? A simple machine with no moving parts. It is simply a straight slanted surface. ( Ex. a ramp.)
