Q

What are the six simple machine

A

Lever, incline plane, wedge, screw, wheel and axle, and pulley

24
Lever
Simple machine consisting of a bar that pivots at a fixed point called a fulcrum
25
What are levers used for
Apply force to the load
26
First class lever
The fulcrum is between the input force and the load
27
What do first class levers fo
Change the direction of the input force
28
List one example of a first class lever
Teeter totter
29
Second class lever
Load is between the fulcrum and input force
30
How do second class levers help
Allow you to apply less force then the force exerted by the load
31
Third class lever
The input force is between the fulcrum and load
32
What do third class levers do
They don't increase input force
33
Mechanical advantage of a first class lever
Greater then one
34
Whatis the mechanical advantage of a second-class lever
Greater than one
35
What is the mechanical advantage of a third class lever
Less than one
36
Incline plane
A straight slanted surface
37
How are inclined planes helpful
requires a smaller input force
38
What happens the distance with an inclined plane
The distance increases
39
Mechanical advantage of incline plane
The longer the inclined plane is compared with its height the greater the mechanical advantage
40
How do you calculate the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane
Divided length by height
41
wedge
Double inclined plane that moves
42
How are wedges helpful
Which is applying an output force that is greater then your input force
43
What happens to the distance with the wedge
It increases
44
Example of wedge
Knife
45
Mechanical advantage of wedge
The longer and thinner the wedge is the greater the mechanical advantage
46
How do you calculate the mechanical advantage of the wedge
Length divided by thickness
47
Screw
Incline plane wrapped in a spiral
48
Mechanical advantage of screwa
The longer the incline plane the greater the mechanical advantage and when u straighten it out it is a really long incline plane
49
Wheel and axle
Simple machine consisting of two circular objects of two different sizes
50
What is bigger wheel or axle
Wheel
51
Mechanical advantage if wheel and axle
Can be determined by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle and turning the wheel makes a mechanical advantage of greater than one
52
Pulley
Grooved wheel that holds a rope or a cable
53
Fix pulley
Doesnt increase force
54
Movable pulley
Doesn't change forces direction and you have to make both sides move
55
Block and tackles
Fixed pulley and moveable pulley together can have large mechanical advantage when several pulleys are used
56
Compound machines
Made of two or more compound machines
57
Some examples of compound machines
Block and tackle, scissors, and zipper
58
Mechanical efficiency of a compound machine
Mechanical efficiency of compound machine is low because the more moving parts a machine has the less mechanical efficiency and friction should be reduced as much as possible
