1. I.P.C. 4 D Investigate and Demonstrate Mechanical Advantage and Efficiency of various machines such as levers, motors, wheels and axles, pulleys and ramps

2. 100%???? Percentage Efficiency of Machines!

3. You will never have a machine that is 100% efficient. Some energy almost always is lost as heat. (Called dissipated)

4. Machines: C hange the size and/or direction of a force.

5. Formula Chart Constants, Symbols and Units FormulasEFFICIENCY Today we will work with the efficiency formula. Find it on your Formula Chart.

6. Efficiency- in science it is the amount of work you get out of a system as compared to how much you put into it. WOWO %EWIWI

7. When solving a problem--- First read the problem carefully and list what you know and what you are solving for. Second identify the formula from the formula chart that includes what you are given. Third Using the triangle method, set up the formula. You may have to rearrange the formula to solve for the unknown quantity.

8. Calculate !!! What is the efficiency of a machine that requires 110 J of input energy to do 35 J of useful work? Solving for efficiency…what is the input and output? Calculate and multiply by 100!

9. W o = 35 J W I = 110 J Wo = 35 J Efficiency W I = 110 J E=35J/110J E=.32 Don’t forget to multiply by 100 Efficiency is 32% ÷ What is the efficiency of a machine that requires 110 J of input energy to do 35 J of useful work?

10. W o = 100 W W I = 1000W Wo = 100 J Efficiency W I = 1000 J E=100J/1000J E= 0.1 Don’t forget to multiply by 100 Efficiency is 10% ÷ What is the efficiency of her body when a cyclist expends 1000 W of power to deliver mechanical energy to the bicycle at the rate of 100 W?

11. FOLDABLE TIME Make a Percent Efficiency Foldable (Hint: on the back write the names of some simple machines and a definition for mechanical advantage.

12. Mechanical Advantage: the ratio of output force to input force for a machine. How much easier and faster a machine makes your work is the mechanical advantage of that machine. If a machine has a mechanical advantage of 4, it will produce 4x more force than you put into it.

13. Pulleys-The MA of a pulley is equal to the number of supporting ropes What is the Mechanical Advantage for each of the following pulleys? MA=2 because there are 2 supporting ropes. It makes it two times easier to lift the bucket MA=4 because there are 4 supporting ropes. It makes it four times easier to lift the bucket

14. Mechanical Advantage and Efficiency are NOT the same thing!! Machines can make make work easier to do but still not ever be 100% efficient. Stairs increase mechanical advantage because they make it easier to climb a slope but they are not 100% efficient.

15. Lever: simple machine, bar that turns about a fixed point (fulcrum) Crowbar Seesaw

16. 3 types of levers:

17. A lever can multiply forces No machine can multiply work or energy…. We may put 100 J of work onto a lever but only get 98 J of work out. The lever is said to be 98% efficient.

18. To find the MA of a lever, divide the effort arm length by the resistance arm length. MA = effort arm length / resistance arm length 10 cm 2 cm 10÷2 = 5x easier to lift 100 kg ball Effort Arm Effort or Lift here The longer the effort arm, the higher the MA or the easier it makes the work seem. Resistance Arm

19. Which lever requires the least effort to lift a load? TAKS-2006 Hint: Look at the length of the effort arm MA = effort arm length ÷ resistance arm length

20. Which lever arrangement requires the least effort force to raise a 500 N resistance? TAKS-2004
