  1. Simple Machines

  2. Simple Machines • Machines are tools that make jobs easier by: • Changing the size of the force • Changing the direction of the force • Increasing the speed or distance the object is moved

  3. Simple Machines Inclined plane Wedge Screw

  4. Simple Machines Lever Pulley Wheel & Axle

  5. Mechanical Advantage • MA is the number of times a machine multiplies the force being applied • Ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) is the number of times the applied force is multiplied under ideal conditions. This assumes no friction!

  6. Mechanical Advantage • Actual mechanical advantage (AMA) is the number of times the applied force is multiplied under real conditions

  7. Calculating IMA

  8. Calculating IMA For a ramp 10m long and 2m high: dE=ramp length=10m dR= ramp Height=2m

  9. Calculating AMA

  10. Calculating AMA

  11. Efficiency

  12. Efficiency

  13. Word Problems • RTDQ – Read the darn question! • What is the question asking me to find? • What information do I have in the problem? Draw a picture! • If I don’t have enough information, is it a two-step problem?
