What is the work done by a machine on an object? output force
What is the work that you do on a machine? input force
What is the number of times the machine multiplies force? mechanical advantage
What is a comparison of a machine's work output with the work input? mechanical efficiency

What machine always has a mechanical advantage of less than 1? a poorly lubricated, movable pulley
What does a fixed pulley change? the direction of a force
When a machine increases the size of the force exerted, what happens to the distance? it must increase
What type of simple machine is a screw? wheel and axle
What is it called when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force? work

Where is the input force of a wheel and axle exerted? a circular distance
What is an example of a compound machine? block and tackle pulley
What two things must happen for work to be done? the object must move in the same direction as the force
What is a doorknob an example of? wheel and axle
What type of lever places the load between the input force and the fulcrum? a 2nd class lever

What is power? the rate at which energy is transferred
What is a watt? the unit used to express power
What is W รท t used for? to calculate power
What is a first class lever? a lever where the fulcrum is between the input force and the load
What is a second class lever? a lever where the load is between the input force and the fulcrum
What is a third class lever? a lever where the input force is between the fulcrum and the load

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
