C. It involves a transfer of energy

what happens to energy when work is done?

Energy is transferred between what is doing the work to what ks moved.

Under certain conditions it is possible to get more work out of a machine tha you put into it.

FALSE

When a machine is used to do work, the force is applied by the machine is called the effort force.

FALSE

Friction changes the useful work of a machine into MECHANICAL energy.

FALSE. Friction changes the useful work of a machine into THERMAL energy

ACTUAL mechanical advantage is determined with the equation MA= F,r F,e

FALSE. Ideal Mechanicsl advantage is determined with that equation

Power is done over A DISTANCE.

FALSE. Power is work done over time.

How could you increase the IMA of an inclined plane?

Increase its length

the amount by which a machine multiplies an effort force is called the.......

Mechanical advantage

What term indicates the number of times a machine multiplies the input force?

Mechanicl advntage

How are work,time, and power related?

Power is work divided by time. P=_W_ t

Reducing friction increases the IDEAL MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE of a machine.

Reducing friction increases the EFFICIENCY of a machine.

Examples of all three claases of levers are found in the human body.

TRUE

In order for work to be done on an object, the object must move.

TRUE

Some machines dont multiply the force that is applied to them.

TRUE

The longer arm of a lever with a mechanical advantage greater than 1 is the EFFORT arm.

TRUE

power

amount of work done, or the amount of energy transferred, divided by the time required to do the work or transfer the energy; measured in watts.

which of the following increases as the efficency of a machine increases? A. Work input B. work output C. Friction D. IMA

b. work output

An arragement of pulleys designed to reduce the effort force is called a

block and tackle

compound machine

machine

device that makes doing work easier by increasing the force applied to an object, changing the direction of an applied force, or increasing the distance over which a force can be applied.
