Work, Power, and Machines
Across
- 2. a common unit of power equal to 746 watts, first based on the power output of a very strong horse
- 6. a V-shaped object with two sides that are two inclined planes sloped towards each other
- 7. the distance the input force is exerted over
- 9. two circular objects attached together about a common axis
- 10. the units for work
- 11. the number of times that the machine increases an input force
- 17. the work done by the output force over the output distance, the work that comes out of the machine
- 18. consists of a rope that fits into a groove in a wheel
- 19. an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder
- 20. a device that changes a force, it makes work easier to do
- 21. the rate of getting work done
- 22. the actual forces acting on a machine, it equals the ratio of the output force to the input force
- 23. the distance the output force is exerted over
Down
- 1. the work done by the input force over the input distance, the work put into a machine
- 3. the mechanical advantage in the absence of friction
- 4. the force that is put out by a machine
- 5. a slanted surface along which a force moves an object to a different elevation
- 8. a rigid bar that pivots/turns around a fixed point (fulcrum)
- 12. the force put into a machine
- 13. the units for power
- 14. the percentage of work input that becomes work output, is always less than 100%
- 15. a combination of two or more simple machines that operate together
- 16. the product of force and distance, it is done when a force acts on an object in the direction the object moves
