Lesson 1 Reading Guide - KC

5. What is work?
In science, work is the transfer of energy that occurs when a force makes an object move.
A force that does not make an object move does no work.
Lesson 1-1

6. What is work? (cont.)
Stand up and push down on your table with all the force you can.
Lift your chair slowly up from the ground to above your head.
Hold your chair above your head.
When were you doing work?
Lesson 1-1

7. Calculating Work
To calculate work, multiply the force applied to the object by the distance the object is moved by that force.
The product of force and distance has the unit newton·meter. The newton· meter is also known as the joule (J).
Lesson 1-2

from Greek mechanikos, means “machine”
Lesson 2-3

46. What is mechanical advantage? (cont.)

Even though no machine is 100% efficient, you can calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle.
Lesson 3-3

79. Inclined Planes A ramp, or inclined plane, is a flat, sloped surface.
It takes less force to move an object upward along an inclined plane than it does to lift the object straight up.
Lesson 3-4

80. Moving a sofa is easier using a ramp
Moving a sofa is easier using a ramp. Using a ramp only requires a 100-N force to move the 500-N sofa. Because of friction, no ramp operates at its ideal mechanical advantage.
Lesson 3-4

81. Inclined Planes (cont.)
The ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane equals its length divided by its height.
Lesson 3-4

82. Inclined Planes (cont.)

A wedge is really a type of inclined plane with one or two sloping sides.
Lesson 3-4

The BIG Idea

100. Lesson 1: Work and Power
For work to be done on an object, an applied force must move the object in the direction of the force.
When work is done on an object, the energy of the object increases.
Power is the rate at which work is done.

Key Concepts 1

101. Lesson 2: Using Machines
A machine can make work easier in three ways: changing the size of a force, changing the distance the force acts, or changing the direction of a force.
The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the output force to the input force.
Because of friction, the output work done by a machine is always less than the input work to the machine.
Friction between moving parts converts some of the input work into thermal energy and decreases the efficiency of the machine.
