Can a machine multiply input distance Input distance Input energy?

yes. yes. no


Can a machine multiply input energy or work?

No. The machine can multiply input force if it's built to do that. But when it does,it divides the distance by the same amount. So the product of (force x distance)comes out the same as what went in. The product of (force x distance) is the inputwork, or energy, so that doesn't change.(In fact, some of it is always lost going through the machine, so what comes outis always a little less than what went it.)


Who is greater the applied force or the force exerted by the machine?

That depends on whether the machine is designed to multiply force or distance. A machine designed to multiply distance will exert less force than was applied, and a machine designed to multiply force will exert the greater force over a shorter distance than force was applied to it. As for work, output work is always less than input work because some energy is lost in overcoming friction.


Can a machine multiple input force Input distance Input energy?

Yes. Yes. No.


How does a simple machine decrease the input force required?

by increasing the distance.


What is the definition of output and input work?

Work Input- The work done on a machine as the input force acts through the input distance. Work Output - The work done by a machine as the output force acts through the output distance (What the machine does to the object (dependent on the force) to increase the output distance).


What is force distance trade off in a simple machine?

That means that if you use a simple machine to apply less force, you need to compensate by applying the force over a larger distance - for example, to lift up a weight or do some other work.


If you know the input distance and output distance of a machine which of the following can you calculate?

Type your answer here... The actual mechanical advantage.


How do you calculate the mechanical advantage of a simple machine?

In the distance from the fulcrum to the input forcedivided by the distance from the fulcrum to theoutput force.


Why do you multiply to find the total mechanical advantage?

The "Ideal Mechanical Advantage" of a simple machine isIMA = output force /input force . To find the 'actual' or real-world mechanical advantage,multiply the IMA by the machine's efficiency.


What is the efficiency of the machine?

a machine applies a force of 100 newtons over a distance of 10 meters to raise a500 newtons drum 1.5 meters. what is efficiency of the machine ?


What is input distance?

Input Distance is the distance the input force acts through.
