Across
- 4. A grooved wheel with a rope wrapped around it. Changes the direction of the input force.
- 10. Potential energy that depends on height.
- 12. The ability to do work or cause change.
- 14. A change from one form of energy to another form of energy.
- 15. When you exert a force on an object that causes that object to move some distance. The movement of the object must be in the same direction of the force.
- 16. A device that is thick at one end and tapers to a thin edge at the end. The force exerted on this device changes into output force in the same direction.
- 17. A rigid object that pivots on a fixed point. There are 3 classes of this object. The only difference between the 3 classes is the location of the fixed point.
Down
- 1. Two circular or cylindrical objects that are fastened together and rotate around a common axis.
- 2. A machine made up of two or more simple machines.
- 3. Potential energy associated with objects that can be stretched or compressed.
- 5. A flat slanted ramp that allows you to exert an input force over a longer distance.
- 6. The fixed point around which a lever pivots.
- 7. Energy that is stored and help in readiness.
- 8. A device that enables a person to apply less force or to apply force in a direction that is easier to manipulate.
- 9. The energy of motion, depends on mass and velocity.
- 11. An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder to for a spiral.
- 13. The amount of work you do when you exert a force of 1 newton to move an object a distance of one meter.
