What is a mechanic advantage?

A machine's mechanical advantage is the number of times a machine multiplies the amount of work force you apply.

The mechanical advantage is a number that tells you how many times a machine multiplies the effort used?

A machine's mechanical advantage is the number of times a machine multiplies the amount of work force you apply.


If the machine cannot multiply the amount of work what is the advantage of using a machine?

A machine decreases the amount of force needed to work, as it distributes the force throughout a larger distance.


If the mechanical advantage of a machine gun is 2 it means?

It means that twice the amount of required to fire the bullet to its target than the acutal amount of energy required to pull the trigger, thus making the machine gun efficient.


What are the characteristics of a simple machine?

Simple machines give us an advantage by changing the amount, speed, or direction of forces.


How many factors dos 0 have?

an infinite amount because it multiplies with everything


What can be done to increase the efficiency of the machine?

Mechanical Efficiency is the ratio of Actual mechanical advantage to ideal mechanical advantage.Efficiency will be maximum when Actual mechanical advantage equals that of ideal.But practically not possible.Actual mechanical advantage will be less due to friction,heat,deflection etc.avoiding these loses will increase the machine efficiency.


If the output force is greater than the input force of a simple machine Is the mechanical advantage is less than one?

No, the mechanical advantage is greater than 1. If you input a force of 1 unit you get out a force of 1+ units. However keep in mind that if this were a PERFECT machine the amount of WORK INPUT is EQUAL to the the amount of WORK OUTPUT. Since perfection is not possible, and there are frictional losses this is not possible. Otherwise you could have a perpetual motion machine, which is not yet possible.


In physics what is power and efficiency?

Power(P) is the amount of Work(W) done in a given amount of time(t). Efficiency(e) is a measure of how effective a machine is. This is done by taking the ratio of output work(Wo) and dividing that by the work input(Wi). e=Wo/Wi X 100 Another way of determining efficiency is... e=AMA/IMA X 100 (AMA=Actual Mechanical Advantage) (IMA=Ideal Mechanical Advantage)
