0.06 m/N

b)

17 N/m

c)

425 J

d)

2125 J

9.

How does an inclined plane affect the work that is

done on an object?

a)

It decreases the input distance.

b)

It increases the input distance.

c)

It decreases the amount of input force needed.

d)

it decreases the amount of output force needed.

10.

How can simple machines make work easier?

a)

by increasing the amount of work done

b)

by decreasing the amount of work done

c)

by changing the distance or the force

needed to do the work

d)

by getting rid of the work needed to move the object

11.

Calculate the efficiency of the machine in the diagram.

a)

efficiency = (output / input) x 100

= (190 J / 200 J) x 100 = 95%

b)

efficiency = (input / output ) x 100

= (200 J/ 190 J) x 100 = 105

c)

efficiency = (output x input)

= (200 J x 190 J) = 38000

d)

efficiency = (output / input)

= (190 J / 200 J) = 0.95

12.

a)

True

b)

False
