What’s the What’s the Advantage?Advantage?

What is mechanical advantage?

Mechanical advantage is the amount

of help that a machine

gives you.

Describe how we can turn something to make

something else turn.

When a gear turns it forces the meshed gear to turn

as well.

How can a gear turn to make something

else go straight?

Rack and pinion transfers motion from a rotation to a

straight line

What is a PULLEY?

A pulley is a simple machine.

It is made with a grooved wheel and a

rope.

What is a GEAR?

DAILY QUADRUPLE

A gear is a simple machine. It is a toothed wheel that meshes another toothed mechanism.

It can change the speed, direction, or amount of force needed to do work.

When the teeth of two gears are in

contact with each other they are…

Meshed

How can a pulley change

the type of motion?

A pulley can transfer/change a downward motion to an

upward motion (lifting up to

pulling down)

What would a gear system look like that speeds up

motion?

Turn the first gear to make the second go

faster (second has fewer teeth so it rotates

faster)

Rotate B to make A go

fast

?

What direction is the follower gear moving in?

Counter-clockwise

Identify the following:

•Gear•Teeth•Axle•Meshed Area

This is an example of what type of pulley system?

A Movable Pulley System

A movable  pulley  is a pulley that moves with the load.

•The advantage of a movable pulley is that the effort needed to move the load is less than the weight of the load.•The disadvantage is that the load is moving in the same direction as the effort and this is not always convenient.

This is an example of what type of pulley system?

A Fixed Pulley System

The fixed pulley is attached to an unmovable object. 

•The advantage is that the direction of the effort needed to move the load is opposite to the load itself. •The disadvantage is that you have to apply the same effort to lift the load as the weight of the load.

What is different about the way gears on a bicycle turn in comparison to standard spur

gears?

Bicycles have sprocket and chain gears that work like some pulley systems. A chain connects the

sprocket gears on the pedals to the back wheel. The chain also allows the gears to turn in the same

direction. The sprockets keep the chain from slipping as it turns.

The gears turn in the same direction.

Identify some gear systems that are used in daily life.

Gear Systems;

Clocks

Bicycles

Hand drills

Transmissions

Etc.

How does a bicycle work?

-The rider turns the pedals (input: force used to make the system work) which are attached to gears

- The gear has a chain around it attached to the gear at the back wheel

-The chain forces the back gear to turn

-The back gear is attached to the wheel so when it turns it forces the wheel to turn (output: what happens as a result of the input)

How many times would the follower gear rotate if the

driver gear were to rotate 2 times?

4 Times.

Fill in the blanks:1. A gear train can change the

_______, _______, or amount of _______needed to do work.

2. A pulley system can change the _______ of effort and the _______ of effort needed to move a load.

1. A gear train can change the speed, direction or amount of effort needed to do work.

2. A pulley system can change the amount of effort and the direction of effort needed to move a load.
