this must happen for work to be done 

Work is done when a force causes and object to move in the direction of the force 

100

this tells how much a machine increases force 

mechanical advantage 

100

a ramp is this type of machine 

inclined plane 

100

the pivot point of a lever 

fulcrum 

100

work is done if an object does not move 

false - does move 

100

wedges and screws are actually this type of machine 

inclined planes 

200

formula for work 

force x distance 
200

IMA for an inclined plane = length/_______

height

200

a knife is this type of machine

wedge 

200

this class of lever has the load in the middle 

2nd class 

200

output force is the force a machine produces 

true 

200

MA of lever (3) + pulley (2) equals this total of MA 

6

300

units used to measure power 

watts 

300

this reduces efficiency in machines 

friction

300

a screwdriver is this type of machine

wheel and axel 

300

fishing pole is this class of lever 

3rd class

300

a wheel and axel is a compound machine

false - simple

300

carrying bricks across a room is this type of work 

no work 

400

power = ________ / time

work 

400

if MA = 3, the force is multiplies by this number 

3

400

this machine uses a rope and wheel 

what is a pulley 

400

this class has fulcrum in the middle 

1st class 

400

power is measure in joules 

false - watts 

400

machines are not 100% efficient because of this 

friction 

500

if you push with 10 N for 5 m, how much work was done?

50 joules 

500

if IMA = 6 and efficiency is less than 100%, AMA is.....

less than 6 

500

a bicycle is this type of machine 

compound machine 

500

hands farther apart on the handlebars making steering easier because of this

greater torque (rotation)

500

lifting an object is doing work 

true 

500

AMA compared to IMA is always 

AMA is always less than IMA
