The rotating wheels of a vehicle throw out mud tangentiallygive reason?

Any mass in motion remains in constant uniform motion (constant speed and direction) unless acted upon by an external force. At any instant in time, the mud particle is moving tangentially on the wheel. If the adhesion between the wheel and the mud is strong enough to transmit a force to the mud and cause it to alter its direction of motion, then its direction of motion will change to follow the wheel. If the mud isn't stuck to the wheel tight enough to transmit the required force, then its direction of motion will not change enough to follow the wheel and it will separate. At the instant of separation, the force goes away, and the mud continues in straight-line motion.


On a wheel and axle where would you apply force to make a greater force?

Probably on the axle??


What is the weight of an object being moved by a machine?

A simple machine is mechanical device that is non-powered. It changes the direction of a force. Some examples of a simple machine include a wheel and axle, a wedge, and a pulley.


What are the differences between a fixed pulley and a moving pulley and how do each of them change work?

The difference between a fixed pulley and a movable pulley is, the wheel of a fixed pulley does not move because the wheel is attached to a wall, ceiling, or other object. Unlike a fixed pulley, a movable pulley's wheel does move. The wheel on a movable pulley is not attached to a wall or other object. A fixed pulley changes work by changing the direction of a force. A movable pulley changes work by reducing the input force needed to lift heavy objects. A movable pulley changes the direction of the input force and reduced it. A movable pulley also increases the output force.


What kind of pulley changes the direction of the input force but does not change the amount of force you apply?

A simple pulley is a rope (or chain or belt) with one wheel this may be a class 1 or class 2 pulley.For a class 1 pulley, the pulley is stationary and the force applied to the rope is in the opposite direction as the movement of the object.For a class 2 pulley, the pulley is attached to the moving object and the force applied to the rope is in the same direction as the motion of the object.A compound pulley, consisting of an arrangement of more than one simple pulley, provides many other possibilities with the direction of force either the same direction or the opposite direction of the motion of the object being moved.

Is the seat of a bicycle a simple machine?

Simple machines are things that change the direction or magnitude of a force. A bicycle saddle doesn't do that, so no.


Which simple machine has the effort and resulting forces in the same direction?

If you try to make a wheel and axle work do you have to apply force or effort?

yes


Why does a ferris wheel acclerate?

I have to assume that you are referring to the Rim of the wheel where the seats are attached. That being the case, the circular motion of the wheel's rim creates Centrifugal and Centripetal forces. These forces act against each other along the radius of the wheel, at every point on its circumference. Unless the wheel rim flies apart, the two forces are exactly in balance. The acceleration is caused because the points on the rim are constantly changing direction as the wheel rotates. In order for a real object to change its direction of motion, a Force is needed. Remember that Force = Mass x Acceleration. So an Acceleration is needed to generate the Force to change the direction of any point on the rotating wheel. That acceleration is felt by the riders of the wheel as being lifted off the seat, or pushed into the seat...depending on their position relative to the ground (force of Gravity), and the speed of the Wheel.
