Across
- 2. a group of parts that work together to perform a general function, forming a complex machine
- 7. force that opposes motion
- 9. system in which simple machines all work together
- 12. simple machine made up of a wire, rope, or cable moving on a grooved wheel; may be made up of one or many wheels; can be fixed in place or movable
- 15. device that moves a fluid through or into something
- 16. pairs of wheels with teeth that interlink; when they rotate together, one gearwheel transfers turning motion and force to the other
- 17. amount by which a machine can multiply a force
- 18. system that uses a gas under pressure to move loads
- 20. simple machine made up two wheels of different diameters that turn together
- 22. force applied to operate a machine
- 23. simple machine made up of a rigid bar or plank that rotates on a fixed object called a pivot or fulcrum
- 24. simple machine that consists of a cylinder with a groove cut in a spiral on the outside
Down
- 1. force a machine applies to an object
- 2. smaller group of parts within a complex machine that performs a specific function
- 3. tool or device made up of one basic machine
- 4. a complex system containing multiple pulleys designed to help lift heavy loads.
- 5. measurement of how well a machine or device uses energy
- 6. special type of linkage for transferring the energy from the engine to the wheels in large vehicles such as cars and trucks
- 8. system that uses liquid under pressure to move loads
- 10. when pressure is applied to a liquid in a container, the pressure and force is transmitted equally and undiminished throughout the liquid.
- 11. simple machine made up of a flat surface, such as a board, at an angle to another flat surface, such as the ground or a table top; ramp
- 13. measure of how the speed of the object is affected by a machine; calculated by dividing the input distance by the output distance
- 14. device that helps us do work
- 19. simple machine that looks like an inclined plane, but is forced into an object.
- 21. belt or chain to transfer energy from an energy source to an object
