  1. Work and Simple Machines S8P3. Students will investigate relationship between force, mass, and the motion of objects.a. Determine the relationship between velocity and acceleration. b. Demonstrate the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object in terms of gravity, inertia, and friction. c. Demonstrate the effect of simple machines (lever, inclined plane, pulley, wedge, screw, and wheel and axle) on work.

  2. Essential Questions When is work done on an object? How do you determine the work done on an object? What is the relationship between power and work?

  3. WARM-UP:

  4. Work – p.406-407 Work is done on an object when the object moves in the same direction in which the force is exerted.

  5. Why is this server in a restaurant NOT doing any work?

  6. Calculating Work – p.408-409 The amount of work done on an object can be determined by multiplying force times distance.

  7. Is work being done?

  8. Work = Force x Distance • Work = 5000 N x 200 m • Work = 1,000,000 Joules!

  9. Power – p.409-411 Power is the rate at which work is done. It is equal to the amount of work done on an object in a unit of time.

  10. WATT’s the unit of power?!?!

  11. How Machines Do Work– p.412-415 A MACHINE is a device that allows you to do work one of three ways that is easier: It can change the amount of force that you exert It can change the distance over which you exert your force It can change the direction in which you exert your force

  12. Input and Output forces – p.413 Input force is the force that YOU exert on the machine, causing it to move a certain distance. (Ex: You exerted a force on a shovel) Output force is the force that the MACHINE exerts over another distance. (Ex: the shovel’s force on the dirt)

  13. Input and Output work– p.413 Input work is the input force times the input distance Output work is the output force times the output distance When you use a machine, the amount of output work can never be greater than the amount of input work.

  14. Mechanical Advantage– p.416-417 A machine’s mechanical advantage is the number of times a machine increases force exerted on it.

  15. Efficiency of Machines – p.417-419 A machine’s efficiency (expressed as a percent) compares the output work to the input work. Some work is always wasted overcoming the force of friction. Efficiency = Output work x 100% Input work

  16. Simple Machines p.422

  17. Inclined Plane p.423 • A flat, sloped surface • Ex: ramp • Allows you to exert your input force over a longer distance. • Ideal mechanical advantage = Length of incline Height of incline

  18. Wedge p.424 • A device that is thick at one end and tapers to a thin edge at the other end. • 2 inclined planes back to back that can move. • Ex: ax, knife, zipper • Allows the output force at a 90o angle to the slope • Ideal mechanical advantage = Length of wedge Width of wedge

  19. Screw p.425 • An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. • Ex: lids of jars • Threads of screw increase the distance over which you exert the input force. As threads of screw turn, they exert an output force, holding the object in place. • Ideal mechanical advantage = Length around the threads Length of screw

  20. Levers p.426-427 • A rigid bar that is free to pivot, or rotate on a fixed point, called the fulcrum. • Ex: wheelbarrow, hockey stick, crowbar • 3 types (see next slide) • Ideal mechanical advantage = Distance from fulcrum to input force Distance from fulcrum to output force

  21. 1st class levers p. 427 • Change the direction of the input force. • If the fulcrum is closer to the output force, these levers also increase force. • If the fulcrum is closer to the input force, these levers also increase distance. • Examples: scissors, pliers, seesaws

  22. 2nd class levers p. 427 • Change the direction of the input force. • If the fulcrum is closer to the output force, these levers also increase force. • If the fulcrum is closer to the input force, these levers also increase distance. • Examples: scissors, pliers, seesaws, wheelbarrow

  23. 3rd class levers p. 427 • Increase distance, but do not change the direction of the input force. • Examples: fishing poles, shovels, baseball bats, hockey sticks, brooms

  24. Wheel and Axle p.428-430 • Two circular or cylindrical objects fastened together that rotate about a common axis. • Ex: screwdriver, doorknob, steering wheel • You apply an input force to turn the handle, or wheel. Because the wheel is larger than the axle, the axle rotates and exerts a large output force. The W&A increases your force, but you must exert your force over a long distance. • Ideal mechanical advantage = Radius of wheel Radius of axle

  25. Pulley p.430-431 • A grooved wheel with a rope or cable wrapped around it. • Ex: flagpole, crane, weight machine, blinds/drapes • You pull on one end of a rope (input force), while the output force pulls the object you want to move. Makes work easier in 2 ways (see next slide) • Ideal mechanical advantage = number of sections of rope that support the object.

  26. Simple Machines in the Body p.432 • Your front teeth (incisors) are wedges! • Most of the machines in your body are levers that consist of bones and muscles

  27. Which levers are found in your body?

  28. Compound Machines p.433 • Utilize two or more simple machines • Ideal mechanical advantage is the product of the individual ideal mechanical advantages of the simple machines that make it up.
