What will increase the actual mechanical advantage of a machine?
Common mechanisms for obtaining mechanical advantage would include such as multiple pulleys, hydraulic systems, gears, and levers.
The more efficient a machine is the closer the actual mechanical advantage is to the?
Perfect efficiency
How does the size of a ideal mechanical advantage compares to the mechanical advantage?
This is because the actual mechanical advantage is the actual calculation found after dividing the effort force by the output force. Ideal mechanical advantage is what many people would call and estimate. When estimating mechanical advantage, the numbers are always rounded. This makes actual mechanical advantage less. Sources: Science teacher ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The answer above is incorrect. The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) is usually less than the mechanical advantage (MA) in a given machine because of the friction acting on the machine. There will always be some frictional resistance that increases the effort necessary to do the work.
How did the ideal mechanical advantage and the actual mechanical advantage compare each time you repeated the experiment?
I haven't gotten around to repeating it yet. I've been so busy, had so much homework, the dog ate it, etc.
What are the units for actual mechanical advantage?
No units. It is a ratio
How does actual mechanical advantage compare with ideal mechanical advantage?
The actual mechanical advantage is usually less, due to losses.
What is the ideal and actual mechanical advantage of a machine?
we can save our time by using machines and a machine can perform the work of hundred men.
How does the ideal compare with the actual mechanical advantage?
The actual mechanical advantage is usually less, due to losses.
Why is the actual mechanical advantage of an inclined plane alwaysess than the theoretical mechanical advantage?
This is because the actual mechanical advantage is the actual calculation found after dividing the effort force by the output force. Ideal mechanical advantage is what many people would call an estimate. When estimating mechanical advantage, the numbers are always rounded. This makes actual mechanical advantage less.

Actual mechanical advantage of a pulley?
Mechanical Advantage = distance moved at input / distance moved at output
What is the Mechanical Advantage Formula?
Mechanical Advantage: F(out)/ F(in) Actual Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of Force outputed to Force inputed. (AMA=Fo/Fi) Similarly, IMA (Ideal Mechanical Advantage) = di/do
What is IMA and AMA?
IMA- Ideal mechanical advantageAMA- Actual mechanical advantage
What does the M stands for in the abbreviation AMA?
Depending on the context , it might mean " medical". Mechanical = Actual Mechanical Advantage
What is the difference between actual machanical advantage and ideal machanical advantage?
Ideal mechanical advantage is what could be obtained without the effects of gravity and friction lowering the efficiency of the machine. The actual mechanical advantage is what can actually be obtained by the machine.
What is the actual mechanical advantage of the pliers?
You can grip things tightly with them.
What is the formula for mechanics?
Mechanical Advantage: F(out)/ F(in) Actual Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of Force outputed to Force inputed. (AMA=Fo/Fi) Similarly, IMA (Ideal Mechanical Advantage) = di/do
The ratio of resistance force to effort force?
The ratio of resistance force to effort force is a mechanical advantage.
