section 2 what is a machine Flashcards
what is the work that you do on a machine
work input
what is the work done got the machine
work output
what is the force of work input
input force
what is the force of work output
output force
can work output be greater than work input
no
what happens when a machine changes the size of the force
distance is exerted
what is the number of times the machine multiplies force
mechanical advantage
what is the equation of mechanical advantage
ma= output force divided by input force
what happens when a machine that has a mechanical advantage of 1
it can help move or lift heavy objects
what is a comparison of a machines work output with the work input
mechanical efficiency
what is the equation of mechanical efficiency
me= work output divide by work input x 100
what is a machine that had 100% mechanical efficiency
ideal machine
what is a device that makes work easier by changing the size or direction of a force
machine
