Work and Simple

1 Work: using a force Work to move an object a distance The force and the motion of the object have to be in the same direction.  If the object does not move then no work is done.  Work also depends on direction.  The force has to be in the same direction as the motion or no work is done on the object.

1.Two physics students, Ben and Bonnie, are in the weightlifting room. Bonnie lifts the 50 kg barbell over her head (approximately .60 m) 10 times in one minute; Ben lifts the 50 kg barbell the same distance over his head 10 times in 10 seconds. Which student does the most work? Which student delivers the most power?

Explain your answers.13 Ben and Bonnie do the same amount of work; they apply the same force to lift the same barbell the same distance above their heads. Yet, Ben is the most powerful since he does the same work in less time. Power and time are inversely proportional.

14 How are the formulas for Force, Work, & Power related?

2. How much power will it take to move a 10 kg mass at an acceleration of 2 m/s/s a distance of 10 meters in 5 seconds? This problem requires you to use the formulas for force, work, and power all in the correct order.

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Work = Force x Distance

Power = Work/Time

15 2. How much power will it take to move a 10 kg mass at an acceleration of 2 m/s/s a distance of 10 meters in 5 seconds? This problem requires you to use the formulas for force, work, and power all in the correct order.

Force=Mass x Acceleration Force=10kg x 2m/s/s Force=20 N

Work=Force x Distance Work = 20N x 10m Work = 200 Joules

Power = Work/Time Power = 200J/5s Power = 40 watts 16 Machines

Machine – a device that makes doing work easier by…  transferring a force from one place to another,  changing the direction of a force,(pulley)  increasing the magnitude of a force,(Car Jack)  increasing the distance of which the force is applied ( ramp)

Work Input

Work input – The work done by you on the

Win (Force in x distance in) comes from the force applied to the machine (effort force)

Effort force – FE (Force in) The force applied to the machine (usually by you)

Work output

 Work output – work done by the machine

Wout (Force out x distance out)

Resistance force – The force applied by the machine to overcome resistance

FR (Force out)

Resistance force

Multiply forces by changing the direction of the input force multiply distances by changing the distance over which the force is applied

Mechanical Advantage

 Mechanical Advantage (MA) – quantity that measures how much a machine multiplies force or distance output force (F ) input distance R OR  MA = input force (FE) output distance Mechanical Advantage

MA greater than one multiplies the input force MA less than one increases the distance and speed MA Example

Calculate the mechanical advantage of a ramp that is 5.0 m long and 1.5 m high MA Practice 1. A ramp is 6.0 m long and 1.5 m high 2. An automobile jack lifts a 9900 N car with an input force of 150 N 3. A sailor pulls down on a sail weighing 140 N with a force of 140 N Ideal machine Win = Wout 100% energy transfer. There is no such thing as an ideal machine – you always lose some energy (through friction, air resistance, etc.) How do MA & IMA differ? MA- Mechanical Advantage of a machine that has friction. IMA- Mechanical Advantage of an Ideal machine (no friction). Efficiency – a measure of how much of the work put into a machine is changed into useful output work by the machine. (less heat from friction)

Efficiency = (Wout / Win ) x 100%

Win is always greater than Wout

Practice  Kelsey applies 50J of work to a machine. The machine puts out 40J of work. What is the efficiency of a machine?

GIVEN: WORK:

Wout = 40J e= Wout / Win x 100

Win = 50J 40J / 50J= 0.80

0.80 x 100 = 80% Simple Machines Simple Machines

– one of the six basic types of machines Lever family: lever, pulley, and Inclined plane family: inclined plane, wedge, and screw Levers  Levers – rigid arm that turns around a fixed point (fulcrum)  1st class – fulcrum in middle  crowbars, scissors, pliers, tin snips and seesaws.  2nd class – output force in middle  nut crackers, wheel barrows, doors, and bottle openers.  3rd class – input force in middle  tweezers, hammers, and shovels First Class Lever can increase force, distance, or neither changes direction of force Second Class Lever

always increases force Third Class Lever

always increases distance Lever – Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) frictionless machine

D Effort Distance IMA e D Resistance r Distance

De must be greater than Dr in order to multiply the force. Pulley

Pulley – rope, belt, or chain wrapped around a wheel Used to lift things (flag on flagpole) Block and tackle – many pulleys put together Single fixed has MA of 1, movable has MA of 2, multiple increases MA What is a pulley?

1. Consists of a wheel and a rope (chain) 2. A fixed pulley is actually a modified first class lever. It is fixed because part of it is attached and doesn't move.

Ex. Elevators, dumb waiters, flagpoles

3. Moveable pulleys multiply force The Block and Tackle

System of pulleys consisting of fixed and movable pulleys.

Basically the weight of the object is spread over multiple ropes, meaning less force needs to be applied to raise it.

Essentially the rope is longer, and you must pull it a longer distance to raise the object. Work = force x distance

Multiple Pulleys Increase Mechanical Advantage By spreading the 4 Pulleys force over a greater distance (using more than one pulley) you will reduce the effort required to raise an object. In each case, the length of the rope gets longer, and the effort required to lift the block gets smaller 1 pulley = 100 N 2 pulleys = 50 N 4 pulleys = 25 N

Wedge – inclined plane that moves Ex: axe blade, nail Wedge - Zipper

2 lower wedges push teeth together; 1 upper wedge pushes teeth apart Screw

Screw – inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder Ex: jar lid, spiral staircase MA of an screw can be calculated by dividing the number of turns per inch.

54 Find the simple machines Compound Machines

Compound Machines – made of more than one simple machine Ex: scissors, bicycle Rube Goldberg Machine

Rube Goldberg walks in his sleep, strolls through a cactus field in his bare feet, and screams out an idea for self-operating napkin: As you raise spoon of soup (A) to your mouth it pulls string (B), thereby jerking ladle (C) which throws cracker (D) past parrot (E). Parrot jumps after cracker and perch (F) tilts, upsetting seeds (G) into pail (H). Extra weight in pail pulls cord (I), which opens and lights automatic cigar lighter (J), setting off sky-rocket (K) which causes sickle (L) to cut string (M) and allow pendulum with attached napkin to swing back and forth thereby wiping off your chin. After the meal, substitute a harmonica for the napkin and you'll be able to entertain the guests with a little music. Simple Machine Review

1. How is slant related to MA of an inclined plane, wedge or screw? 2. How can you increase the MA of a lever? 3. Which simple machine is most important to operating an elevator? Checking your

1. Explain whounderstanding is doing more work and why: a bricklayer carrying bricks and placing them on the wall of a building being constructed, or a project supervisor observing and recording the progress of the workers from an observation booth. Work is defined as a force applied to an object, moving that object a distance in the direction of the applied force. The bricklayer is doing more work.

2. How much work is done in pushing an object 7.0 m across a floor with a force of 50 N and then pushing it back to its original position? How much power is used if this work is done in 20 sec? Work = 7 m X 50 N X 2 = 700 N-m or J; Power = 700 N-m/20 sec = 35 W

3. Using a single fixed pulley, how heavy a load could you lift?Since a fixed pulley has a mechanical advantage of one, it will only change the direction of the force applied to it. You would be able to lift a load equal to your own weight, minus the negative effects of friction.

59 4. Give an example of a machine in which friction is both an advantage and a disadvantage. One answer might be the use of a car jack. Advantage of friction: It allows a car to be raised to a desired height without slipping. Disadvantage of friction: It reduces efficiency.

5. Why is it not possible to have a machine with 100% efficiency? Friction lowers the efficiency of a machine. Work output is always less than work input, so an actual machine cannot be 100% efficient.

6. What is effort force? What is work input? Explain the relationship between effort force, effort distance, and work input. The effort force is the force applied to a machine. Work input is the work done on a machine. The work input of a machine is equal to the effort force times the distance over which the effort force is exerted.
