What does a weight lifter that is holding bar bells above his head have to do in order to do work
Put it down
The rate that work is done is called
Power
The unit used for power is
Watts (w)
Work and energy is measured in
Jules (J)
A device that makes work easier is
A machine
Amount by which a machine multiplies the effort force. ——– The ratio of resistance force to effort force
Mechanical advantage
The force u apply to a machine
Effort (E)
The force applied by the machine
Resistance (r)
A machine that changes only the direction of the force has a mechanical advantage of
One
A measure of how much work is put into a machine that is turned into useful works is
Efficiency
Work output of a machine divided by the work input
Efficiency
The work output of a machine is always —— than the work input of the machine
Less
A device that does work with just one movement is
A simple machine
A bar that is free to pivot about a fixed point
Lever
A lever with a mechanical advantage greater than one is increase —-
Force
