| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| machine | devices that allow you to do work in an easier way |
| a machine makes work easier by? | changing the amount distance and direction of a force |
| input force | the force you exert |
| output force | force machines exert |
| work = | fore x distance |
| mechanical advantage | number of times a machine increases a force you exerted on it |
| the ratio of output force to input force is | the mechanical advantage of a machine |
| mechanical advantage= | output force ----------------- input force |
| efficiency | compares output work to input work |
| to calculate the efficiency of a machine you | divide the output work by the input work and multiply by 100 |
