5
Explain: Mechanical Advantage Directions:Complete the two steps. 1. Write the definition for Mechanical Advantage 2. Create a T-chart for Mechanical Advantage for Force and Mechanical Advantage for Distance using the notes provided on simple machines and mechanical advantage. T-chart should include: – Formula for MA=Force and MA=Distance – Definitions for output force, input force, distance effort, and distance resistance. – Give one example of MA=force and MA=distance
6
Teacher Explain Input/Output Force
7
Explain: Mechanical Advantage Mechanical Advantage can also be calculated by counting the number of ropes in a pulley. Directions: What is the MA in each pulley?
8
Explain: MA of Force Directions: Where is the input force and output force located? A. B.
9
Simple Machines and Mechanical Advantage Direction: Label as Input force or Output Force. 1. You lift a 200N object. 2. A wedge applies 400N of force to a piece of wood. 3. You push 240N on a lever. 4. You turn a screw with 30N of force. 5. A pulley applies 48N of force up.
10
Explain: MA of Distance Directions: Where is the distance effort and distance resistance?
11
Simple Machines and Mechanical Advantage Direction: Label as distance effort or distance resistance. 1. You use an incline plane to lift a car up 4 meters. 2. You use a 10 meter ramp to raise up a car. 3. You lift a 200kg object up 2meters. 4. The distance you push down on a lever. 5. The distance the object moves with a lever.
12
Explain: MA Direction: What is the distance mechanical advantage of the following diagram? Make sure to show the formula and show how you got the answer.
13
Direction: What is the force mechanical advantage of the following diagram? Make sure to show the formula and show how you got the answer.
14
The mechanical advantage of a lever is the ratio of the length of the lever on the applied force (effort force - EF) side of the fulcrum to the length of the lever on the resistance force (RF) side of the fulcrum. Lever
15
Inclined Plane - Mechanical Advantage The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is equal to the length of the slope divided by the height of the inclined plane.
16
Wedge – Mechanical Advantage The mechanical advantage of a wedge can be found by dividing the length of either slope (S) by the thickness (T) of the big end. S As an example, assume that the length of the slope is 10 inches and the thickness is 4 inches. The mechanical advantage is equal to 10/4 or 2 1/2. As with the inclined plane, the mechanical advantage gained by using a wedge requires a corresponding increase in distance. T
17
Wheel and Axle MA= radius of wheel/radius of axle
18
Screw
19
Diagrams of Pulleys Fixed pulley: A fixed pulley changes the direction of a force; however, it does not create a mechanical advantage. Movable Pulley: The mechanical advantage of a moveable pulley is equal to the number of ropes that support the moveable pulley.
20
Explain: Efficiency Efficiency in science means… a.) Formula is output work/input work x 100% Wo x 100% Wi b.) amount of energy lost in a system Efficiency wants to be at 100% but NO machine has 100% efficiency you loose it to heat, friction, sound, etc.
21
Exit Slip: MA Write the formulas for Mechanical Advantage
