Simple machines are tools, devices or objects that are used to make work easier.

TYPES OF SIMPLE MACHINES.

  • Levers
  • Inclined Plane
  • Wedges
  • Screw
  • Pulley
  • Wheel & Axle

<u>T</u><u>H</u><u>E</u><u> </u><u>L</u><u>E</u><u>V</u><u>E</u><u>R</u><u>S</u>

A lever is simply a plank or ridge beam that is free to rotate on a pivot.

<u>P</u><u>A</u><u>R</u><u>T</u><u>S</u><u> </u><u>O</u><u>F</u><u> </u><u>A</u><u> </u><u>L</u><u>E</u><u>V</u><u>E</u><u>R</u><u> </u>

  1. Load
  2. Effort
  3. Fulcrum or pivot

<u>C</u><u>L</u><u>A</u><u>S</u><u>S</u><u>E</u><u>S</u><u> </u><u>O</u><u>F</u><u> </u><u>L</u><u>E</u><u>V</u><u>E</u><u>R</u><u>S</u>

THE FIRST CLASS LEVER

In this class, the FULCRUM is between the EFFORT and the LOAD. The mechanical advantage is more if the load is closer to the FULCRUM. Examples: seesaws, boat oars and crowbars.

THE SECOND CLASS LEVER

In this class, the LOAD is between the EFFORT and the FULCRUM. The mechanical advantage is more if the LOAD is closer to the FULCRUM. Example: wheelbarrow.

THE THIRD CLASS LEVER

In this class, the EFFORT is between the LOAD and the FULCRUM. The mechanical advantage is more if the EFFORT is closer to the LOAD. Example: garden shovel.

<u>T</u><u>H</u><u>E</u><u> </u><u>INCLINED</u><u> </u><u>PLANE</u><u> </u><u>OR</u><u> </u><u>RAMP</u>

An inclined plane is a simple machine with a sloping surface. It makes it easier for us to move objects from lower grounds to higher grounds.

<u>W</u><u>E</u><u>D</u><u>G</u><u>E</u><u>S</u>

A wedge is simply a triangular tool, often made of wood, stone, metal or plastic. It is thick at one end and tapers to a thin or sharp edge at the other end. Examples: knife, axe, doorstopper, nail, blade on the snow plough or farmer grader.

<u>PULLEY</u>

A pulley is simply a wheel with a groove in it, and a rope in the groove. It is used to lift heavy objects from the ground to high places.

<u>WHEEL</u><u> </u><u>&</u><u> </u><u>AXLE</u>

Involves two circular objects joined at the center. It works when force is applied to the wheel or when force is applied to the axle. Example: door knob.

Keith_Richards [23]

It is given that by using track and cart we can record the time and the distance travelled and also the speed of the cart can be recorded. With all this data we can solve questions on the laws of motion.  

Like using the first law of motion we can determine the force of gravity acting on the cart that has moved a certain distance and the velocity or the speed of card has already been registered and since time is known putting the values in formula would help us calculate the gravitational pull acting on cart.

A ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere are all released from rest from the same height on an inclined surface, at the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • The expression for acceleration of the rolling body on an inclined plane is given as a = gsinФ/1 + k²/R²
  • where Ф is the angle of inclination, R is the radius, k is the radius of gyration.
  • The potential energy of the system is given as ; PE = mgh
  • The potential energy will be constant for ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere.
  • The total kinetic energy of the rolling body is ; KE = mv²/2 + Iw²/2
  • Hence, the total kinetic energy of the ring, cylinder, solid sphere and hollow sphere will be constant.

2. The moment of inertia of the ring is given as ;

I = mR²

The moment of inertia of the ring is maximum and therefore reaches the bottom last.

Explaining How Momentum Can Cause
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.
