Vocabulary

  • Force: Any push or pull
  • Joule:energy,heat,work
  • Newton: unit for force
  • Work: energy to move obj.
  • Simple Machine: fundamental part of any machine (6)

How much work?

I apply 6N of force to push a box 4M= 24Nm

Mechanical Advantage= force applied/force applied with mechanical help

A construction worker uses a board as a lever to lift a heavy rock. He applies 20N w/o lever & with lever he applies 10N of force

What is the Mechanical advantage?

20 N/10N = 2

Discuss what simple machines he used and the feasibility of Stonehenge or the ancient pyramids being built this way.
