Men at Work
If I want to do work on something moving South, I would have to push it in this direction.
What is SOUTH?
I always want to reach new heights, so I would use this to get me there.
What is INCLINED PLANE?
This scientist has the unit for power named after him, and no, his name is not JJ.
What is WATT?
The higher your mechanical advantage, the easier it is for a machine to do this.
What is WORK?
These things make work easier to do.
What is MACHINE?
There may be 500 lbs on the bar, but a weightlifter holding a bar over his head is doing this.
What is NO WORK?
A zipline is an example of this type of simple machine.
What is PULLEY?
Power is considered scientifically as the rate at which this thing is done.
What is WORK?
Friction is not ideal, so we use this form of mechanical advantage to take that into account.
What is AMA?
I want to take two simple machines and use them together, so I need to create this.
What is COMPOUND MACHINE?
Work can only be done when I provide this over a distance.
What is FORCE?
Weight may not matter too much, but on this simple machine, I always carry the load.
What is LEVER?
If scientists decided to rename the watt, the unit could still be universally known as this expanded unit.
What is JOULES PER SECOND?
AMA uses force, but this type of force always goes on top of the AMA equation.
What is OUTPUT FORCE?
The classes of levers are determined by the locations of the input force, output force, and this.
What is FULCRUM?
This is the last name of the scientist that the unit for work is named after.
What is JOULE?
It is hard to cut my steak with a fork, so I use this instead.
What is WEDGE?
To increase your power while doing the same amount of work, you have to decrease this to do so.
What is TIME?
IMA uses this type of measurement in its equation, which is a clear difference from AMA.
What is DISTANCE?
If I cannot give my all (partly due to an opposing force), I cannot give 100%, which is a measurement of this.
What is EFFICIENCY?
A 50 N force acting over a distance of 50 cm does this amount of work.
What is 25 JOULES?
Without a power drill, I would have to screw something in by hand using this.
What is WHEEL AND AXLE?
746 watts is a lot of power, especially for an animal, so we use this word to describe it.
What is HORSEPOWER?
As long as your AMA is less than your IMA, efficiency should always be below this.
What is 100%?
When a machine increases an input force by a certain amount of times, I can measure this.
What is MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE?
