    Study Notes

    Simple Machines Application Questions

    • Can Opener: Input force is hand pressure; output force resists lid.

    • Six Simple Machines (Examples):

      • Pulley: flagpole, sailboat
      • Lever (Class 1): teeter-totter, (Class 2): wheelbarrow, (Class 3): hockey stick
      • Wheel and Axle: bike wheels, wrench, cranks
      • Inclined Plane: ramp, ladder, staircase
      • Wedge: knife, doorstop, axe blade
      • Screw: screw, spiral staircase

    • Mechanical Advantage (MA):

      • It's how effectively a machine works (how much easier a task becomes).
      • Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA): The theoretical mechanical advantage with no friction.
      • Actual Mechanical Advantage (AMA): The actual mechanical advantage considering friction.

    • Efficiency:

      • Ratio of AMA to IMA expressed as a percentage.
      • Represents the percentage of input energy that produces useful output work.
      • Ways to increase efficiency: Reduce machine weight, minimize friction.

    • Long Effort Arm (Class 1 Lever):

      • IMA increases because effort distance increases, requiring less effort force. Thus less force is needed for the same output work.
      • Mathematical relationship: IMA = effort distance / load distance. Increased effort distance = increased IMA.

    • Multiple Pulleys:

      • Increase mechanical advantage by spreading the load among more strings. Less force needed; longer effort distance.
      • Trade-off: longer effort distance.

    • Three Classes of Levers (with examples):

      • Class 1: Effort, fulcrum, load are in this order (teeter-totter).
      • Class 2: Load, fulcrum, effort are in this order (Wheelbarrow).
      • Class 3: Fulcrum, load, effort are in this order (hockey stick).

    • Third-Class Levers:

      • Always have a mechanical advantage less than 1. This relates to the mathematical relationship based the lengths of the effort arm and load arms. .
      • Trade-off: Increased speed.

    • Wheel Radius and MA:

      • Larger radius = increases distance effort travels, which means less force.
      • Radius length is equivalent to the length of a lever arm.

    • Inclined Planes:

      • Make lifting easier by increasing the distance the effort travels.
      • Flatter incline= greater distance, less force.

    Calculation Questions

    • Work calculation examples:

      • Pushing a car: 7500 J.
      • Lifting a sewing machine: 75 J.
      • Lifting a 10 kg weight: 0 work since the weight is returned to the starting point.

    • Force calculation example:

      • Pushing a car 25 m with 60 kJ of work: 2400 N.

    • Distance calculation example:

      • 2 kJ of work, 500-N force: 4 m.

    • Force and work calculation example (Tow truck):

      • Force of a 980-kg car with 0.8 m/s^2 acceleration: 784 N.
      • Work done by tow truck to move car 30 m: 23520 J.

    • Force of gravity calculation example (Penny):

      • 0.023 N.

    • Mechanical Advantage calculations:

      • Output force 5x input force = MA 5
      • Lifting rock (0.6 N input, 36 N output) MA 60
      • Crowbar (25 N effort / 250 N load)= MA 10

    • Pulley system (4 N effort, 12 N output) calculation: - AMA 3. (AMA, not IMA)

    Data Analysis Questions

    • Data relationships:

      • Mass vs. Weight are directly related
      • Temperature vs. Density vary inversely
      • Density varies directly with mass and inversely with volume
      • Solids, Liquids, Gases have varying densities (solids most, gases least)

    • Density calculation examples:

      • Density of a substance: mass/volume

    • Floating/sinking calculation examples: If the object’s density is less than the density of water (1.0 g/mL), it will float.

    • Mean, Median, Mode calculation examples: Mean: Average of a set Median: Middle number when the data values are ordered Mode: Most frequent number

    • Data types examples:

      • Categorical, continuous (continuous vs discrete data)

    • Density and Volume calculations

      • Density given, calculate mass/ Find volume with known density and mass. (and vice versa)

    • Errors in displacement calculation (rubber ducky): The rubber duck wasn't fully submerged.

    • Graph Analysis: Determine whether a graph is linear, non-linear, positive, negative , strong, moderate or weak and explain relationship.

    • Temperature Data Scatter Plot: Examine data for linear relationship, strength of correlation, create best-fit line and predict values.

    Hookworm Activity

    • Independent Variable: Number of hookworms.
    • Dependent Variable: Amount of blood loss.
    • Data type: Discrete (cannot have parts of hookworms).
