D15.4 Quizizz Mechanical Advantage

What is effort (input) force?

• the force one exerts on a machine

• the force which an effort force must overcome in order to do work on an object via a simple machine.

• the force the machine exerts on a object

• the output work times the input distance

What is resistance (output) force?

• the force required by a machine in order to accomplish work (the force you put on the machine)

• The force that is exerted by a machine

• the force the machine exerts on a object

• the output work times the input distance

What is effort (input) distance?

• the force required by a machine in order to accomplish work (the force you put on the machine)

• the force which an effort force must overcome in order to do work on an object via a simple machine.

• the distance an input force acts through

• the output work times the input distance

What is resistance (output) distance?

• the force required by a machine in order to accomplish work (the force you put on the machine)

• the force which an effort force must overcome in order to do work on an object via a simple machine.

• the distance an input force moves a machine

• the distance through which the output force is exerted

What is mechanical advantage?

• The advantage a machine has over a bicycle

• A measure of how much a simple machine reduces work

• A measure of when is the best time to use a simple machine

• the number of times a machine increases input force
