This formula will calculate for work 

What is work = force x distance

100

When calculating for mechanical advantage, which number goes on top of the fraction?

What is the bigger number

100

This simple machine can be best defined as a double inclined plane.

What is a wedge

100

This formula will calculate for potential energy due to gravity 

What is PE = mass x gravity x height

100

Which requires more work; walking up stairs or running up stairs. Why?

Both are the same amount of work because w=f*d. the force and distance is the same in both scenarios. However, it does require more power to run (p=w/t)

200

This formula will calculate for power

What is power = work / time 

200

Which would give you a greater mechanical advantage, 1 fixed pulley system or a 2 pulley system with one moving and one fixed?

What is a 2 pulley system with one moving and one fixed

200

This simple machine can be best defined as an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.

What is a screw

200

This formula will calculate for kinetic energy 

KE = (1/2) Mass x Velocity2

When calculating for efficiency, which number goes on top of the fraction?

What is the little number 

300

Calculate the amount of work done on a shopping cart if it is pushed a 10 meter distance with 10 Newtons of force. 

What is 100 Joules 

300

Which ratchet would yield the greatest mechanical advantage and why?

What is the largest one because the force out put is greater than the others due to the longer handle.

300

This simple machine is a lever that increases both force and distance.

What is a 1st class lever
