| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Input Force | the force that you apply to an object |
| Output Force | the force the object applies |
| Input Work | the product of the input force and the distance the machine moves in the direction of the input force |
| Output Work | the product of the output force and the distance part of the machine moves in the direction of the output force |
| How do machines make work easier to do? | 1. change the size of the force 2. change the distance the force acts 3. change the direction of a force |
| Mechanical Advantage | the ratio of a machine's output force produced to the input force |
| Mechanical Advantage formula | MA=F-out F- In |
| Ideal Mechanical Advantage | the mechanical advantage if no friction existed |
| Why is the output work never bigger than the input work? | Friction because it converts some of the input work into thermal energy. |
| Efficiency | the ratio of the output work to the input work |
| Equation for efficiency | Eff=W-out W-in x 100% |
