List six types of simple machines
|
Lever, Wheel and Axle, Pulley, Screw, Inclined Plane, Wedge
|
|
State the purose of a simple machine?
|
Machines use mechanical advantage to decrease the amount of energy required to accomplish work
|
|
Differentiate between kinetic energy and potental energy? Give an example for each
|
Kinetic energy is energy in motion (example: ball rolling)
Potental energy is stored energy waiting to be converted (example: battery in a package) |
|
Define Watt
|
A unit used to measure use of electricity
|

List three safety rules for drilling tools
|
1. Wear eye protection
2. Make sure chuck teeth grip bit securely 3. Drill slowly 4. Use vice grips for small and irregular pecies 5. Keep a support piece below |
|
Define electricity
|
The movment of electrons from one atom to another
|
|
What unit is used to measure the current flow of elecricity?
|
Amps
|
|
Exlpain Watts Law and write the formual
|
The reationship between volts, watts, and amps
W=VxA |
|
Justify the choice of a 10 : 1 gear ratio on a race car
|
A higher first number creates more speed
|
|
How would you increase the strength of an electric magnet?
|
Add more coils
|
|
Compare the use of a 20mm gear and a 90mm gear used in a 20:90 ratio and a 90:20 ratio
|
The 20:90 ratio will create more torque at a lower speed, and lower RPM
The 90:20 ratio will have decreased torque at a higher speed, and higher RPM |
|
True or False
When using a lever the load should be closer to the pivot to make the work easier |
True
|
|
Match the resource to the type of machine energy
Fluid Mechanical Air Hydraulic Effort Pneumatic |
Fluid= Hydraulic
Air= Pneumatic Effort= Mechanical |
|
Diagram and label the four types of mehanical motion
|
Linear, Reciprocal, Oscilating, Rotary
See Diagram 3 |
|
Discuss static and current electricty
|
Both are kinetic energy in motion. Static has random movment of electrons while current has a steady consistant movment of electrons
|
