400
In all situations, whenever work is done on an object, there is a change in the object's _________.
What is the object's energy.
400
The three ways in which machines make work easier.
What are: -increasing the force applied to an object -increasing the distance over which the force is applied -changing the direction of the force
400
True of false: Machines that have a mechanical advantage of 1 only change the direction between the input and the output forces.
What is True
400
True or false: in machines with an IMA of less than 1, the distance moved by the input force is less than the distance moved by the output force.
What is True.
