What is a Simple Machine? A simple machine has
few or no moving parts. Simple machines make
work easier WE CAN CALCULATE: WORK POWER EFFIECIENCY

- What Is Work?
The Meaning of WorkWork is done on an object when the
object moves in the same direction in which the force is exerted.
Calculating Power A tow truck exerts a force of 11,000 N to pull a car out
of a ditch. It moves the car a distance of 5 m in 25 seconds. What is the power of the tow truck?
What information have you been given? Force of the tow truck (F) = 11,000 N Distance (d) = 5.0 m Time (t) = 25 s

Calculating PowerA tow truck exerts a force of 11,000 N to pull a car out of a ditch. It moves the car a distance of 5 m in 25 seconds. What is the power of the tow truck?What formula contains the given quantities and the unknown quantity? Power= Work/Time Power = (Force X Distance)/TimePerform the calculation. Power = (11,000 N X 5.0 m)/25 s Power = (55,000 N•m)/25 s or 55,000 J/25 s Power = 2,200 J/s = 2,200 W

Calculating Power A tow truck exerts a force of 11,000 N to pull a car out
of a ditch. It moves the car a distance of 5 m in 25 seconds. What is the power of the tow truck?
Look Back and Check
Does your answer make sense? The answer tells you that the tow truck used 2,200 W
to pull the car. This value is about the same power that three horses would exert, so the answer is reasonable.
- What Is Work?
Calculating PowerPractice Problem A motor exerts a force of 12,000 N to
lift an elevator 8.0 m in 6.0 seconds. What is the power produced by the
motor? 16,000 W or 16 kW
- What Is Work?
Calculating PowerPractice Problem
A crane lifts an 8,000-N beam 75 m to the top of a building in 30 seconds. What is the crane’s power?
20,000 W or 20 kW

- How Machines Do Work
Input and Output Work The amount of input work
done by the gardener equals the amount of output work done by the shovel.
- How Machines Do WorkWhat Is a Machine? A machine makes work
easier by changing at least one of three factors. A machine may change the amount of force you exert, the distance over which you exert your force, or the direction in which you exert your force.
Mechanical AdvantageThe input force and output force for three different ramps are shown in the graph.
- How Machines Do Work
Mechanical Advantage
400 N
Interpreting Data:
If an 80-N input force is exerted on Ramp 2, what is the output force?
- How Machines Do Work
Mechanical Advantage
The slope of each ramp’s graph equals the change in output force divided by the change in input force. This is the formula for mechanical advantage. Ramp 1 has the greatest mechanical advantage.
Drawing Conclusions:
Why does the slope represent each ramp’s mechanical advantage? Which ramp has the greatest mechanical advantage?

Calculating Efficiency You do 250,000 J of work to cut a lawn with a
hand mower. If the work done by the mower is 200,000 J, what is the efficiency of the lawn mower?
What information have you been given? Input Work (Winput) = 250,000 J
Output Work (Woutput) = 200,000 J
- How Machines Do Work
Calculating EfficiencyYou do 250,000 J of work to cut a lawn with a hand mower. If the work done by the mower is 200,000 J, what is the efficiency of the lawn mower?What formula contains the given quantities and the unknown quantity? Efficiency = Output work/Input work X 100%Perform the calculation. Efficiency = 200,000 J/250,000 J X 100% Efficiency = 0.8 X 100% = 80%The efficiency of the lawn mower is 80 percent.
- How Machines Do Work
Calculating Efficiency You do 250,000 J of work to cut a lawn with a
hand mower. If the work done by the mower is 200,000 J, what is the efficiency of the lawn mower?
Does your answer make sense? An efficiency of 80 percent means that 80 out
of every 100 J of work went into cutting the lawn. This answer makes sense because most of the input work is converted to output work.

Calculating EfficiencyPractice Problem
You do 20 J of work while using a hammer. The hammer does 18 J of work on a nail. What is the efficiency of the hammer?
90%
- How Machines Do Work
Calculating EfficiencyPractice Problem
Suppose you left your lawn mower outdoors all winter. Now it’s rusty. Of your 250,000 J of work, only 100,000 J go to cutting the lawn. What is the efficiency of the lawn mower now?
40%

Compound MachinesA compound machine is a machine that
utilizes two or more simple machines.
SIMPLE MACHINES
WHEEL AND AXLE
The wheel and axle is a simple machine. The axle is a rod that goes through the wheel. This lets the wheel turn. It is easy to move things from place to place with wheels and axles.
Wheels and Axles The wheel and axle
are a simple machine
The axle is a rod that goes through the wheel which allows the wheel to turn
Gears are a form of wheels and axles
EXAMPLES OF WHEEL AND AXLE
Cars Roller Skates Wagons Door Knobs Gears in Watches, Clocks, and
Bicycles
SIMPLE MACHINES
PULLEYThis simple machine is made up of a wheel and a rope. The rope fits on the groove of the wheel. One part of the rope is attached to the load. When you pull on one side of the pulley, the wheel turns and the load will move. Pulleys let you move loads up, down, or sideways. Pulleys are good for moving objects to hard to reach places. It also makes the work of moving heavy loads a lot easier.
Pulleys Pulley are wheels
and axles with a groove around the outside
A pulley needs a rope, chain or belt around the groove to make it do work
EXAMPLES OF PULLEYS
Flag Poles Clothes Lines Sailboat Blinds Crane
