Work
the action that results when a force causes an object to move
Work Equations
W = F* D
Work = Force * Distance
Simple Machines
something that changes the magnitude or direction of a force, makes work easier, and/or makes work faster
Lever
a rigid bar that can pivot or rock back and forth
Ex: Crowbar, Rake, Wheelbarrow, Scissors, Tweezers, Nutcracker
Fulcrum
the place at which the level pivots
Effort
the force created by the actual load
Wheel and Axle
a disk that rotates around a rod
Ex: Doorknob; waterwell
Gear
A modified wheel and axle; wheel has "teeth" notched in it
Pulley
a wheel with a groove attched to an axel
Inclined Plane
a tilted surface that allows an object to be lifted with less effort
Wedge
a specific type of inclined plane that is used to sperate objects
Screw
a specific type of inclined plane where the inclined plane is wrapped around a cylinder
Law of moments
in a lever system in rotational equilibruim, the effort moment and the resistance moment are equal
Moment
the force applied perpendicular to the lever
Moment arm
(l) the distance from the fulcrum to where the force is applied
Law of moments Equation
W1L1=W2L2
Efficiency
a measure of how much of the amount of energy put in compares to what is actually able to be done
Power
the amount of work done (or energy provided) in a certain period of time
Power Equation
work/ delta time
Efficiency Equation
work out/ work in * 100
