Motion in Science

Explore the fundamentals of compound machines, which are formed from a combination of simple machines. Learn about key concepts like friction, inclined planes, mechanical advantage, pulleys, speed, wedges, wheel and axle, fulcrums, and levers. This guide outlines how these elements interact to enhance efficiency in performing tasks. By understanding these principles, students can appreciate the mechanics behind everyday devices and tools, making complex processes more manageable and illustrating the beauty of physics in action.

  1. Motion in Science By: Claire Moyer claire.moyer@smail.astate.edu

  2. Compound Machine * Formed from a set of simple machines.

  3. Friction * The force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion of two surfaces in contact.

  4. Inclined Plane * A flat supporting surface tilted at an angle, with one end higher than the other, used as an aid for raising or lowering a load.

  5. Mechanical Advantage * A measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system.

  6. Pulley * A wheel on an axle that is designed to support movement of a cable or belt along its circumference.

  7. Speed * Can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance.

  8. Wedge * A simple machine used to separate two objects, or portions of objects, through the application of force.

  9. Wheel and Axle * Generally considered to be a wheel attached to an axle so that these two parts rotate together in which a force is transferred from one to the other.

  10. Fulcrum * The support about which a lever pivots.

  11. Lever * A machine consisting of a beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fixed hinge, or fulcrum.
