Question
Answer
Work   occurs when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force  
🗑
Work is ONLY done when …………   the force is in the same direction that the object is going  
🗑
These 2 things must be present in order for work to be occurring   work and force  
🗑
What is the work formula ?   W= F x D  
🗑
   
🗑
What is the power formula?   P= W/T  
🗑
Watt include picture(s)   The unit used to express power  
🗑
Machine include picture(s)   a device that helps make work easier by changing the size or direction of a force  
🗑
Work Input   the work you do on a machine  
🗑
Work Output   The work done by the machine  
🗑
When can work output be GREATER than work input? – it can never be greater.    
🗑
(carefully read last paragraph p. 193)    
🗑
“Machines don’t save work” . True or false? Explain your answer   False. The same work is done either way  
🗑
Mechanical Advantage –tells you how many times the machine multiplies force    
🗑
Mechanical Advantage formula –MA= output force/input force    
🗑
What are the 6 simple machines ?   Lever, screw, wedge, pulley, wheel and axle, inclined plane  
🗑
Lever –simple machine consisting of a bar that pivots at a fixed point    
🗑
Examples of include picture(s)   see saw, kayak, wheel barrow  
🗑
Fulcrum –the point on a level where the bar pivots    
🗑
Examples of each of the 3 classes of levers   include picture(s)  
🗑
Inclined Plane   simple machine that is a straight, slanted surface  
🗑
How do you increase the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?   the longer the inclined plane is compared with its height, the greater the mechanical advantage  
🗑
Examples of Inclined Planes include picture(s)   a ramp  
🗑
Wedge   a double inclined plane that moves.  
🗑
Examples of Wedges include picture(s)   A knife  
🗑
Screws   an inclined plane that is wrapped in a spiral  
🗑
Examples Screws include picture(s)   jar lid, screw  
🗑
How do you change the mechanical advantage of a screw?   the longer the inclined plane the higher the mechanical advantage  
🗑
Wheel & Axle   a simple machine consisting of two circular objects of different sizes  
🗑
Examples of Wheel & Axle include picture(s)   water pump  
🗑
Pulley –a simple machine consisting of a grooved wheel that holds a rope or a cable    
🗑
Examples of Pulleys include picture(s)   Cable cars  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
