  1. Lesson 2 Reading Guide - Vocab Using Machines • mechanical advantage • efficiency

  2. Lesson 2-1 • A. What is a machine? • 1. A(n) machine is any device that makes doing something easier. • 2. Although a machine makes doing work easier, it does not decrease the amount of work required. Gabe Palmer/Alamy

  4. Lesson 2-1 What is a machine?(cont.) • 4. To use a machine, you must apply a(n) force to it. • a. The machine changes the input force to a(n) output force. The McGraw-Hill Companies

  5. Lesson 2-1 What is a machine?(cont.) • b. When a hammer removes a nail, the input force comes frompulling on the hammer’s handle. The McGraw-Hill Companies

  6. Lesson 2-1 What is a machine?(cont.) • the hammer changes this to a(n) output force that pulls the nail from the board. The McGraw-Hill Companies

  7. Lesson 2-2 How do machines make work easier to do? • 5. When you use a machine, the input force makes part of the machine move. The McGraw-Hill Companies

  8. a. Workis done because the input force causes movement. • b. Machines convert input work tooutput work.

  9. Lesson 2-2 How do machines make work easier to do?(cont.) • 1. A machine can make work easier in three different ways. Steve Gorton/Dorling Kindersley/Getty Images

  10. Lesson 2-2 2. A machine can make it easier to do work by changing the size of the force. a. A machine can change a(n) input force into a(n) large output force. b. The output force acts over a(n) shorter distance than the input force does.

  11. Lesson 2-2 When the output force acts over a longer distance than the input force, the output force is less than the input force. Sean Justice/Getty Images

  12. Lesson 2-2 • 3.A machine can make it easier to do work by changing the distance over which the force acts. • With a rake, your hands move through a(n) short distance, but the other end of the rake moves through a(n) greater distance. • b. As the output force exerted by any machine decreases, the output distance increases.

  13. Lesson 2-2 Equal output and input forces act over equal distances.

  14. Lesson 2-2 4. A machine can make it easier to do work by changing the direction of the input force.

  15. Lesson 2-3 What is mechanical advantage? • C. What is mechanical advantage? • 1. A machine’s mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force produced tothe input force applied.

  16. Lesson 2-3 What is mechanical advantage?(cont.) • 2. A mechanical advantage greater than 1 means the output force is greater than the input force. • 3. A mechanical advantage less than 1 means the output force is less than the input force. • 4. A mechanical advantage equal to 1 means the input force and the outputforce are equal, but the direction of the input force changes.

  17. Lesson 2-3

  18. Lesson 2-4 What is efficiency? • D. What is efficiency? • 1. The output work done by a machine never exceeds the input work of the machine.

  19. Lesson 2-4 What is efficiency?(cont.) • 2. The efficiency of a machine is the ratio of the output work to the input work. • 3. Because the output work is always less than the input work, the efficiency of a machine is always less than 100 percent.

  20. Lesson 2-4

  21. Lesson 2 - VS • A machine makes a task easier and it can be simple or complex. • The mechanical advantage of a machine indicates how it changes an input force. The McGraw-Hill Companies

  22. Lesson 2 - VS • The efficiency of a machine is increased when a lubricant coats moving parts.
