Chapter 12 Work and Machines
Chapter 12
Section 1 - What is work?
Work is done on an object when the object moves in the same direction in which the force is exerted.
Work - The product of force and distance when a force is used to move an object.
No work without motion
Section 1 - What is work?
The amount of work done on an object can be determined by multiplying force times distance.
Work = Force x Distance work units - Joules (J)
Chapter 12
Section 1 - What is work?
Power is the rate at which work is done.Power equals the amount of work done
on an object in a unit of time.

Section 2 -How Machines Do Work
Machine - A device that changes the amount of force exerted or
the direction in which force is exerted. A device with which you can do work in a way that
is easier or more effective.
A machine makes work easier by changing at least one of three factors. A machine may change the amount of force you exert, the distance over which you exert your force, or the direction in which you exert your force.

Increase force, decrease distance
Increase distance, decrease force
Change direction
Section 2 -How Machines Do Work
A machine’s mechanical advantage is the number of times a machine increases a force exerted on it.

Section 2 -How Machines Do Work
Friction reduces mechanical advantageThe efficiency of a machine compares the
output work to the input work.Efficiency is expressed as a percent.Efficiency = output work/input work x

Six types of machinesInclined planeWedgeScrewLeverWheel & axlePulley
Chapter 12
Inclined Plane
An inclined plane is a flat sloped surface.Less force exerted over longer distance
Inclined Plane
You can determine the ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane by dividing the length of the incline by its height.
Ideal Mechanical Advantage= Length of incline/ Height of incline.

Wedge
A wedge is a device that is thick at one end and tapers to a thin edge at the other end.
Less force exerted over longer distance
Wedge
The ideal mechanical advantage of a wedge is determined by dividing the length of the wedge by its width.

Screw
Inclined plane wrapped around a cylinderLess force
Screw
The ideal mechanical advantage of a screw is the length around the threads divided by length of the screw.

Lever A lever is a rigid bar that is free to pivot, or rotate, on a fixed point. Fulcum - the fixed point that a lever pivots around
Lever
The ideal mechanical advantage of a lever is determined by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the input force by the distance from the fulcrum to the output force.
Ideal mechanical advantage = Distance from fulcrum to input force / Distance from fulcrum to output force

3 Types of Levers
Wheel and Axle
A wheel and axle is a simple machine made of two circular or cylindrical objects fastened together that rotate about a common axis.

Wheel and Axle
Less force exerted over longer distanceDoorknob
Wheel and Axle
You can find the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle.
Mechanical advantage = Radius of wheel / Radius of axle

PulleyA pulley is made of a grooved wheel with rope or cable wrapped around it.Change amount and direction of input force
Pulley
The ideal mechanical advantage of a pulley is equal to the number of sections of rope that support the object.

Section 4 - Machines in the human body
Lifting levers - most of the machines in your body are levers that consist of bones and muscles.
Pg.432 Levers in the bodyWedges - front teeth (incisors)Break toothpick in fingers
Compound Machines
A compound machine is a machine that utilizes two or more simple machines.
The ideal mechanical advantage of a compound machine is the product of the individual ideal mechanical advantages of the simple machines that make it up.
