Q. What will the work be if the ramp increases the distance moved to 6m but you only apply a force of 200N?
DEFINITION: A machine is any device that ___________________
1. Machines do not_________________the amount of _______ that
needs to be done, they just make work ____________by changing
the __________ it is done.
2. Recall that WORK = ___________ x _____________
3. So machines can change the _______________ and __________
so long as the total work (force x distance) does NOT change.
Answer:
Bottle Opener: Makes opening a bottle easier because it multiplies
the ______________ of your hands.
Rake: Makes gathering leaves easier because you when you move
the handle end just a little ________________ the rake end
moves a large _____________. So it multiplies the
_____________ moved by your hands.
Wheelchair Ramp: It is much easier to push a wheelchair up a ramp
than to lift it up a flight of stairs, because the ramp increases the
____________ over which the wheelchair moves and decreases the
_________________ required to move it.
A machine can change the strength or direction of a force
So, if you want to increase the __________ to move something, you must
(in order to keep the total amount of work done the same) also decrease
the _____________ moved.
Moving van Example:
a) LIFTING STRAIGHT UP:
Force required to lift heavy box = 800 N
Distance lifted from ground to truck bed = 1.5 m
Work = Fd = 800N x 1.5 m = 1200 J
Let’s say you can’t lift 800N – you are not strong enough. b) USING A RAMP:
Force required is only 200N
Distance will now be the length of the ramp = 6 m
