Study Notes
Machines and Mechanical Advantage
- Mechanical advantage is the load divided by the effort in a machine.
Functions of Machines in the Body
- Machines in the body use levers, pulleys, and inclined planes to reduce the effort needed to perform physical tasks.
Types of Machines in the Body
- There are three types of machines found in the body: levers, pulleys, and inclined planes.
Newton's First Law of Motion
- The principle of inertia refers to the tendency of an object to remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
Mechanical Advantage Equation
- The equation for mechanical advantage is MA = Load / Effort, where MA is the mechanical advantage, Load is the weight or resistance, and Effort is the force applied.
