Moonbread https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927931777 The idea of a simple machine originated with the Greek philosopher Archimedes around the 3rd century BC, who studied the Archimedean simple machines: lever, pulley, and screw. He discovered the principle of mechanical advantage in the lever.]]> 2021-12-03 18:24:08 UTC https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927931777 What is a Simple Machine? Moonbread https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927938198 Any of the basic mechanical devices for applying a force, such as an inclined plane, wedge, or lever.

Moonbread https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927943697 The wedge is the oldest simple machine, made by our ancestors Homo erectus at least as long ago as 1.2 million years to make stone tools.]]> 2021-12-03 18:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927943697 What are the Six Types of Simple Machines? Moonbread https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927951001 The six types of simple machines are the inclined plane, lever, wedge, wheel and axle, pulley, and screw.

Moonbread https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927955491 Using a pulley greatly multiplies the force of your physical efforts. A pulley with one wheel allows you to reverse the direction of your lifting force by pulling down on a rope (that's looped over the wheel), lifting your weight. The more wheels your rope can loop around, the more weight you will be able to lift.]]> 2021-12-03 18:37:51 UTC https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927955491 How does a Lever Help move Heavy Objects? Moonbread https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927960212 A lever makes work easier by changing the force applied to the machine or the distance over which the force is applied.]]> 2021-12-03 18:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927960212 How does the Wheel and Axle make It easier to move Heavy Objects? Moonbread https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927963512 In addition to reducing friction, a wheel and axle can also serve as a force multiplier, according to Science Quest from Wiley. If a wheel is attached to an axle, and a force is used to turn the wheel, the rotational force, or torque, on the axle is much greater than the force applied to the rim of the wheel.]]> 2021-12-03 18:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927963512 Compare and Contrast Mechanical Advantage and Mechanical Efficiency? Moonbread https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927966890 The mechanical advantage (MA) of a machine is the factor by which it multiplies any applied force. The efficiency of any machine measures the degree to which friction and other factors reduce the actual work output of the machine from its theoretical maximum. A frictionless machine would have an efficiency of 100%.]]> 2021-12-03 18:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927966890 What is Input and Output Force? Moonbread https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927990788 The input force that you use on an inclined plane is the force with which you push or pull an object. The output force is the force that you would need to lift the object without the inclined plane. This force is equal to the weight of the object.

Moonbread https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927996968 Simple machines are useful because they reduce effort or extend the ability of people to perform tasks beyond their normal capabilities. While simple machines may magnify or reduce the forces that can be applied to them, they do not change the total amount of work needed to perform the overall task.]]> 2021-12-03 19:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/Moonbread/ipqfplpv47566597/wish/1927996968
