What is the purpose of a lever?
✔✔A lever is used to lift or move heavy objects by applying a smaller force over a longer
distance.
What is the function of a pulley?
✔✔A pulley helps lift or lower loads by changing the direction of the applied force.
How does a gear system work?
✔✔A gear system transmits motion between different parts of a machine, often changing speed
or direction of the motion.
What is friction?
✔✔Friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
What does a hydraulic system do?
1
,✔✔A hydraulic system uses liquid pressure to transmit force and perform work, such as lifting
heavy loads.
What is the role of a spring in a mechanical system?
✔✔A spring stores mechanical energy and releases it when needed to return to its original shape
or position.
How is torque generated?
✔✔Torque is generated by applying a force at a distance from the pivot point, causing rotation.
What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?
✔✔Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on an
object's position or condition.
What is the principle of a screw?
✔✔A screw converts rotational force into linear motion, allowing objects to be lifted or secured.
How does a wedge work?
2
, ✔✔A wedge works by concentrating force onto a smaller area to split or cut objects apart.
What is the function of an inclined plane?
✔✔An inclined plane reduces the force needed to lift an object by spreading the work over a
longer distance.
How does a wheel and axle system work?
✔✔A wheel and axle system reduces the effort needed to move objects by turning rotational
motion into linear motion.
What is mechanical advantage?
✔✔Mechanical advantage is the ratio of output force to input force, allowing a smaller input
force to do more work.
What is the function of a fulcrum in a lever system?
✔✔The fulcrum is the pivot point around which the lever rotates to apply force.
What is rotational inertia?
