no i don't think that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rain i think people just say that so that little kid try to get to the end of the rain bow but then get lost and no one can find them.so i'm pretty sure that they don't use simple mechines. i didn't really tell that there was a much of a relationship with input and output.
i learned the longer and skinier the wedge is the less force it needs. and the small and fatter the wedge is the more force it needs. so to day i have learn that the closer the fulcrum is to you the more force that needs to be exerted and the closer the fulcrum is to the object needs less force exerted on it.

St. Patrick's Day?????

I don't believe in lepricons or the gold at the end of the rainbow, so they don't us simple machines or wedges. The input force effected the output force because if you use more input force you will have a greater output force, and same with the input distance and output distance. The shorter wedge was harder to use because you needed alot of force to break the big block and the longer wedge you didn't need as much force and was quite easier than the short wedge. With the lever I noticed that the farther away the stone was from the big block it needed alot more force and the closer it was the the big block the easier it was to lift.

Well i really dont think that theres a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. So I dont think that lepricons used simple machines either. So yesterday i really did'nt notice much about how input and output where effected.
Today though i noticed the the greater length of the wedge the less force need. The smaller the wedge is in length more foce is needed. With the lever I noticed that the closer the stone is to the object your trying to move the less force needed. However when the stone is further away from the object your trying to lift more force is needed to lift the object. Which makes moving the object pretty hard.

I don't believe in Leprokahns. I learned that Wedges are easier to use if they are longer and not taller, I also learned that Levers are alot easier to use when the Fulcum is closer to you, and not the weight. The mechanical Advantage of the lever is alot higher when the fulcum is closer to you. And a longer wedge has a higher mechanical advantage.

In mechanical advantage I learned that its output distance over input distance, and input force over output force to get mechanical advantage. Mechanical Advantage does not have a label. Mechanical Advantage is how well a tool does its job.

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!!

I learned that the bigger the wedge the short the force. When the wedge was smaller, the force became bigger. Use the input force to figure out if the force puts where you move the the lever or the wedge to make it sized.

In the output distance and in put distance would be what you out with. Some of the in puts and out puts include, how big the wedge was, how tall was the lever. The output was, the force of input and output.



HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY EVERYBODY!!!!!!

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!

Ever wonder if lepricauns used simple machines to move their gold around? Anyway today you need to blog about yesterday and today. Yesterday you did math skills on Mechanical Advantage, did you notice anything about the relation ship between the input force and the output force? Or the relation ship between the input distance and the output distance?

Today you started the online lab about the wedge and the lever. What did you discover about the mechanical advantage of a short wedge verses a longer wedge?

Hope all of you had a great St. Patricks day!! Erin go braugh!

Todays blog is worth 10 points, so you need to write TWO paragraphs.

Mechanical advantage

Mechanical advantage tells how a machine multiplies force or increase distance and it is the ratio between the output force and input force. Input force and distance is the the force you have to put into to object or the distance you have to move it. Output force is the force you get out of the object and the output distance is the distance is moves.
No question, thank you.
