Phys. Sci. C8

Physical Science Chapter 8

QuestionAnswer
in physics ( ) is done only when a ( ) causes a change in the motion of an object work, force
work or not work:push a car and the car doesnt move not work
roll a ball across floor work
put book on shelf work
the equation for work is work in J= Force in N x distance in m.
J is for joules
this unit is a Nm or a joule newton meter
( ) is a measure of how fast ( ) is done power, work
power equation is power in watts= work in J/time in s
power is measured in... watts
the unit is w or watt= 1w=1J/s
machines ( ) ( ) change the amount of ( ) done do not, work
they make work ( ) easier
work input= work output from a machine
machines can ( ) the ( ) of force needed change, size
example: we move the handle of a car jack a large distance, the car moce up a little distance but the jack multiplies our force. we pay for the larger force with an increase in distance that we must move the handle **Dont forget to look in notes for equations, examples, and practice problems!**
machines can ( ) the ( ) of the force. change, direction
machines can Change the ( ) over which a force acts distance
it is one of ( ) basic types of helpers for work 6
name them levers, pulleys, wheels and axles, invlined planes, wedges, and screws
a ramp is a what... inclined plane
what are the parts of a lever arm-long sturdy partfulcrum- a pivot point or turning point
a first class lever has the ( ) in the middle and ( ) force on one end and ( ) force on the other end. fulcrum, input, output
*** look at drawings of 1st-3rd class levers ***
a second class lever has the ( ) at one end and ( ) force at one end. the ( ) force is in the ( ). ex.wheelbarrow fulcrum, input, output, middle
third class levers have the ( ) at one end and ( ) force nearby. the ( ) force is all the way at the other end. ex. human arm and hand. fulcrum, input, output
the pulley is a modified ( ) lever
a ( ) that moves in a complete ( ) around the fulcrum lever, circle
many ( ) together is called a Block and tackle pulleys
a ramp is a simple ... inclined plane
the input ( ) and ( ) is the gentle slope of the ramp. the output force and ( ) is the ( ) up out of earth part force, distance, distance, straight
turns input force in 2 directions from one direction of input a wedge
is an inclined plane wrapped around a pole.ex. spiral staircase a screw
what is a compound machine? a machine that combines 2 or more simple machines
scissors are made up of... 2 levers
remember that ( ) input= work, output force
machines can not make ( ) work less
machines multiply ( ) or distance forces
this is.... mechanical advantage
mechanical advantage has no ... units!!!
it just has a ... number
the ability to do work. it can be measured in joules energy
stored energy resulting from the position of an object potential energy
examples: a) a book on shelf(it can fall)b) a stretched rubber band(it can recoil)c) a battery(it can produce electric current)d) fire wood(it can be burned to release heat and light energy)
gravitaional potential energy= mass in kg x acceleration x height in m
gravitational energy is always in joules (J)
energy in motion kinetic energy
kinetic energy= 0.5 x mass in kg x (speed)^2
all potential and kinetic energy in a system mechanical energy
energy in bonds between atoms chemical energy
energy from sun solar energy
electrical energy energy from flow of electrons
do machines change energy for us? no, they just help us with tasks such as lifting things (car jack)
energy can ( ) from one kind to another change
engery transformations ( ) ( ) of moving objects explain paths
energy can not be... created
energy can not be... destroyed
it is simply changed into less usable ( ) forms
energy ( ) disappears never
not all work done by a machine is ( ) usable
some is spent to work against ( ) friction
some turns into ( ) heat
some turns into ( ) sound
answer is in ( ) percent
the answer is never over ( )% 100

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
