ILS Ch 14

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Work   apply force times distance, labeled in Joules  
🗑
Power   labeled in watts or horsepower, work divided by time, rate of doing work  
🗑
Machine   multiplies force, force and distance are inverse, can change direction of force  
🗑
Work output   can not be greater than work input, increased by reducing friction or increasing work input  
🗑
Mechanical advantage   output force divided by input force  
🗑
IMA   problem, pulley  
🗑
Friction   decreases efficiency  
🗑
Efficiency   never 100%, always less, some input force always lost to friction, work output divided by work input  
🗑
Inclined plane   increases distance, ramp  
🗑
Wedge   2 inclined planes, axe, as thickness increases IMA decreases  
🗑
Wheel and axle   doorknob  
🗑
Compound machine   includes more than one simple machine, bicycle  
🗑
Force   only does work if it applied in the direction of the motion  
🗑
Screw   inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder  
🗑
Levers   3 classes, gears are continuous levers  
🗑
First class lever   fulcrum in middle  
🗑
Second class lever   output force in middle  
🗑
Third class lever   input force in middle, IMA always less than 1  
🗑
Math problems   work, power, efficiency,  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
