Question | Answer |
---|---|
transfer of energy that occurs when a force makes an object move; measured in joules | work |
Amount of work done, or the amount of energy transferred, divided by the time required to do the work or transfer the energy; measured in watts. | power |
device that makes doing work easier by increasing the force applied to an object changing the direction of an applied force,or increasing the distance over which a force can be applied | machine |
the force that is applied to the machine | input force |
ratio of the output force exerted by a machine to the input force applied to the machine. | mechanical advantage |
ratio of the output work done by the machine to the input work done on the machine, expressed as a percentage | efficiency |
the applied by the machine | output force |
machine that does work with only one movement-lever, pulley, wheel and axle, inclined plane, screw, and wedge. | simple machine |
simple machine consisting of a bar free to pivot about a fixed point called the fulcrum | lever |
simple machine that consists of a grooved wheel with a rope, chain, or table running along the groove; can be either fixed or movable. | pulley |
simple machine that consists of a shaft or axle attached to the center of a lager wheel, so that the shaft and the wheel rotate together. | wheel and axle |
a simple machine that consists of a sloping surface, such as a ramp, that reduces the amount of force needed to lift something by increasing the distance over which the force is applied. | inclined plane |
simple machine that consists of an inclined plane wrapped in a spiral around a cylindrical past. | screw |
simple machine that is an inclined plane with one or two sloping sides. | wedge |
machine that is a combination of two or more machines. | compound machine |
