Mechanical advantage of simple Machines

By Ms. Taylor

57

Mechanical Advantage

What is it?

  • ​A Ratio of Forces

  • ​MA = Output Force / Input Force

A machine that has a MA above 1, means that the force out is greater than the force you put in.​

Some text here about the topic of discussion

58

Mechanical Advantage, MA

How to interpret MA

  • ​A machine that gives a MA 1 only causes a change in direction.

  • ​A machine that gives a MA less than 1 usually increases the distance over which the work is done.

  • ​A machine that gives a MA greater than 1 usually increases the output force (less force needed)

Thermal Energy

The flow of energy from hot to cold.

The atoms(molecules) of something hot are moving faster than those of something cold.

Temperature is the measure of the speed of those particles and is equal to the avg kinetic energy of all the particles in a sample.

Thermal Energy Transfer

Conduction → Transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter. Occurs in solids, liquids, & gases. Metals are the best conductors.

​So, What is TEMPERATURE?

media

104

​Temperature - The average kinetic energy of all the molecules of the sample

media

105

​What are the temperature scales based on?

Celcius & Fahrenheit are based on the freezing pt and boiling point of water.

Kelvin is based on absolute zero. At absolute zero atoms have zero kinetic energy.

106

°C = 5∕9 (°F - 32)

°F = 9∕5 °C + 32

Celcius / Fahrenheit Conversion

107

Convert 40 deg C to F

°​F = 9/5 °C + 32

= 9(40)/5 + 32

= 104 F

108

Fill in the Blank

Convert 20 deg C to Fahrenheit

°C = 95°F + 32\degree C\ =\ \frac{9}{5}\degree F\ +\ 32  

109

​Let's convert 68 deg F to Celcius

⁰C = 5/9 (⁰F - 32)

⁰C = 5/9 (68 - 32)

⁰​C = 5/9 (36)

⁰​C = 20⁰F

2

Coldness flowed from the ice cube to the soda, making the soda colder.
