Forces & Simple Machines
Across
- 3. The energy of motion.
- 6. The force that is exerted from the input force to create motion of the resisting object.
- 8. A pulley that is a combination of fixed and a movable pulleys forms a block and tackle.
- 10. Input force is the initial force used to get a machine to begin working.
- 12. Accomplishment of or ability to accomplish a job with a minimum expenditure of time and effort.
- 16. The type of lever where the load is between the effort and the fulcrum.
- 17. The type of lever where the effort is placed between the load and the fulcrum.
- 19. The energy obtained if something is stretched or compressed and has the ability to bounce back.
- 21. A threaded cylindrical pin or rod with a head at one end, engaging a threaded hole and used either as a fastener or as a simple machine for applying power.
- 23. A mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force.
- 26. A rigid bar that pivots about one point and that is used to move an object at a second point by a force applied at a third.
Down
- 1. One of the simple machines, a plane surface inclined to the horizon, or forming with a horizontal plane any angle but a right angle.
- 2. Energy of vibrations.
- 4. Exertion or effort directed to produce or accomplish something; labor; toil.
- 5. The ratio of output force to the input force applied to a mechanism.
- 7. Strength or power exerted upon an object.
- 9. Work done or energy transferred per unit of time.
- 11. A pulley that has an axle mounted in bearings attached to a supporting structure.
- 13. The energy stored in chemical bonds.
- 14. A piece of hard material with two principal faces meeting in a sharply acute angle, for raising, holding, or splitting objects by applying a pounding or driving force, as from a hammer.
- 15. Equal to the work per unit mass that is done by the force of gravity to move an object to a fixed reference location.
- 18. The type of lever where the fulcrum is placed between the load and the effort, as in the seesaw, crowbar, and balance scale.
- 20. A wheel, with a grooved rim for carrying a line, that turns in a frame or block and serves to change the direction of or to transmit force.
- 22. A simple machine consisting, in its typical form, of a cylindrical drum to which a wheel concentric with the drum is firmly fastened.
- 24. A pulley that has an axle in a movable block.
- 25. An exertion of power.
