Ratio and Proportion • Ratio is a fraction • Proportion is the relationship between two quantities with constant ratios or fractions.
Work • Anything that pushes or pulls to move an object across a distance. Work (W) = force (F) × distance (d) W = F*d • Conservation of Energy implies Work In = Work Out + Work Lost to Friction • Ideal Machine does Ideal Work with no work lost to friction
Mechanical Advantage • Consider the work in and work out of a simple machine like an inclined plane : Work in = F1 x d1 Work out = F2 x d2 F2 x d2 = F1 x d1
Efficiency of a Machine • An Ideal Machine has 100% efficiency • What is the relationship between mechanical advantage and efficiency?
Simple Machines • The Lever • The Pulley • The Wheel and Axle • The Inclined Plan • The Wedge (single or double) • The Screw
