Term
Will the wheel or the axle turn further?
Definition
axle smaller radius
Term
winch
Definition
a small cylinder and a crank or handle.
Term
wheel and axle
Definition
two turning objects are attached to each other at their centres, and one causes the other to turn
Term
gear
Definition
rotating wheel-like object with teeth
around its rim.
Term
gear train
Definition
A group of two or more gears
Term
mutliplying gears
Which gear turns the most number of times?
Does the driven gear move faster or slower?
Does this change the turning direction?
Definition
follower
faster
Yes they are turning opposite directions
Term
Reducing Gears:
Which gear turns the most number of times?
Does the driven gear move faster or slower?
Does this change the turning direction?
Definition
driver
Driven is slower
They are both turning opposite directions
Term
Parallel Gears:
Which gear turns the most number of times?
Does the driven gear move faster or slower?
Does this change the turning direction?
Definition
they turn the same amount of times
They turn at the same speed
They all turn opposite.
Term
sprocket
Definition
toothed wheels that are connected by chain.
Term
MA for sprockets and gears
Definition
Speed Ratio= Number of driver gear teeth / Number of follower gear teeth
Term
Give an example of a MA that would be a force advantage and one that would be a speed advantage.
Definition
Force - 1< (more than one)
Speed - 1> (less than one)
Term
compound pulley
Definition
one made up of several pulleys working together
Term
fixed pulley
Definition
attached to something that does not move
Term
movable pulley
Definition
attached to something else, often by a rope that goes around the pulley itself. you can lift and lower the pulley itself by pulling on the rope. The load may be attached to the centre of the pulley.
Term
pulley
Definition
a grooved wheel with a rope or a chain running along the groove.
Term
What is the difference between two gears and two sprockets?
Definition
Two gears are in contact.
Toothed wheels are connected using a chain
Term
Depending on where the load is attached on a wheel and axle what is the advantage?
Definition

Term
A class two lever is like a wheel and axle where the load is attached where?
Definition
[image]Class 3 -> load attached to the wheel[image] Speed Advantage (Effort force distance is less than load distance this requires more fore but less distance.)

[image] Class 2 -> load attached to axle[image] Force advantage (effort froce distance is more than the load distance which makes the job easier (use less force))
Term
how to calculate MA of wheel and axle (formula)
Definition
effort arm / load arm
Term
How to calculate TMA in pulleys
Definition
number of ropes being utilized by the pulley system (fixed first = 1 movable first = 2 movable not first =1)
Term
How to calculate AMA in pulleys
Definition
load force / effort force
Term
Why is AMA less efficient than TMA in pulleys
Definition
friction
