| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| machine | allows you to work easier |
| input force | force you exert on machine |
| output force | force machine exerts on object |
| 3 ways to make work easier | change force, change distance, change direction |
| pulley | changes direction of exerted force |
| hockey stick | changes distance |
| ramp | changes force |
| mechanical advantage | ratio of output force to input force |
| increase force | increase mechanical advantage |
| increase distance | decrease mechanical advantage |
| change direction | mechanical advantage does not change |
| ideal machine | 100% efficient |
| real machine | efficiency less than 100% (due to friction) |
