Q 2: A more efficient machine will have a mechanical advantage of… A: More than 1

A: Tool B (Compare the Input & Output sides) Q 3: Which of these tools would have a better (higher) Mechanical Advantage? Tool B Tool A (use the two skateboards & p A: Tool B (Compare the Input & Output sides)

Q 4: What would the mechanical advantage of a machine be that had an output force of 24 N and an input force of 8 N? A: 3

Q 5: The force a machine will do as a result of what you did is called: A: Output force

Q 6: What two things do machines do for us? Why? A: More power & less effort

Q 7: Which side of the machine needs to be longer for a better mechanical advantage? A: Input side

Q 8: Which ramp would have a better Mechanical Advantage? Ramp A Ramp B Height is the same A: Ramp A Longer ramps = less steep = better MA

Q 9: If the mechanical advantage of a machine is really low, what will the effort be like? A: More effort needed

Q 10: Why would a car be considered to have more power than a bike? A: The car travels faster

A: The ramp on the right gets LESS work done! Q 11: If the two ramps are the same length, what is wrong with choosing the shorter height ramp to get the job done instead of the taller ramp? Work = Force x Distance A: The ramp on the right gets LESS work done!
