1.
First class lever: Fulcrum is positioned in the middle, with effort force and resistance force at the opposite ends.
FRE=Fulcrum in the middle
2.
Greatest scientist in ancient times: Archimedes
3.
Ideal machines: The work input = the work output
(Win=Wout)
4.
Ideal Mechanical Advantage: For ideal machines that ignore friction (exist in the minds of engineers and designers)
5.
Inclined plane: One of the original six simple machines; as the name suggests, it is a flat surface whose endpoints are at different heights
6.
Inclined plane family: inclined plane, screw & wedge
7.
Joules (J): unit of electrical, mechanical, and thermal energy.
8.
Law of levers: Left side torque=right side torque
Sum of individual torque on left side =
Sum of individual torque on right side
9.
Lever: First simple machine used by man. Rigid bar or rod that is able to pivot around a fulcrum.
10.
Lever family: The lever, wheel & axle, and pulley
11.
Mechanical Advantage: The amount that a machine is able to multiply the effort force put into it
12.
Mechanical Advantage formula: MA=resistance force/effort force=Fr/Fe
13.
Pulley: A simple machine~made from a wheel and a rope. It is used to make lifting easier.
14.
Screw: One of the six classical simple machines, essentially an inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis for a number of turns
15.
Second class lever: The resistance force is positioned in the middle, with the effort force and fulcrum at opposite ends
FRE=Resistance force is in the middle
16.
Simple machines: machines able to do work with just one movement of the machine
17.
Simple machines formula: w=f (x) d
18.
Third class lever: The effort force is positioned in the middle, with the resistance force and the fulcrum at opposite ends.
FRE=Effort force is in the middle
19.
torque: a force that causes twisting, turning, or rotation around a fulcrum, axis, or pivot point
20.
torque formula: Force (or weight) x distance (from fulcrum)
Ft=F x D
21.
Wedge: A simple machine shaped like an inclined plane, like an inclined plane.
22.
Wheel & Axle: A simple machine, in which a modified lever rotates in a circle around a center point or fulcrum
23.
work: when a force is applied through a distance
(the amount of energy transferred by a force acting through a distance.)
24.
Work formula: W=F x d
Work = Force x distance
25.
Work input: The work you must do on a machine, when a machine is being used.
26.
Work input formula: Win= Fe x de (de=effort distance)
27.
Work output: Work the machine itself does
28.
Work output formula: Wout=Fr x dr (dr=distance the resistance force has to move)
