What factor affect the mechanical advantage of simple machine?

friction affects the M.A in a simple machine.


What describes the relationship between friction and IMA for a simple machine?

An ideal machine has no friction. -Nn


Why it is important for you to reduce friction on compound machine?

Because too much friction can damage the simple machines that make up the compound machine.


What machine would experience no friction?

Ok I think that the answer would either be simple machine or compound machine but I'd double check first..


How does friction affect the work of a machine?

Well, if, for example, you had interlocking gears, the friction would slow down the speed of how they turn. Friction also causes heat, so too much friction could make a computer or a more advanced machine, melt inside. I think that DEFINETELY affects the work of a machine.


What happens to energy that seems to be lost due to friction in a simple machine?

It gets dissipated as heat


Does an ideal machine have friction?

Machine without any friction is an ideal machine so an ideal machine cannot have friction.


What simple machine reduces friction?

If I'm not mistaken, there is no machine that can reduce friction. The machine is intended to change the distance the input force is applied over or to multiply the output force. The moving parts of the machine will always increase friction. In order to reduce the extra friction (but not completely remove it), one would use a lubricant or reduce the roughness between two surfaces. Hope it helps.


How is force affect when a simple machine is used?

simple machines are used by being pulled or pushed


What is the formula to find mechanical advantage?

The mechanical advantage that a machine would have without friction or in another term is that you can find the IDEAL MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE (IMA) OF A MACHINE IS BY HAVING A MACHINE WITH NO FRICTION, ALSO BY MULTIPLYING YOUR EFFORT FORCE BY 2, HOWEVER BECAUSE OF FRICTION AND THE WEIGHT THE ACTUAL MA WILL BE LESS.


Which simple machine decreases the amount of friction on a heavy object as it is being pushed or pulled on the ground?

Wheel and axle


What happens to the mechanical advantage of a machine if friction is reduced through the use of oil or some other means?

Wear and tear of moving parts would be reduced. Less energy would be needed to run the machine, as there would be less friction to be overcome. A well lubricated machine is more efficient than a neglected machine with unoiled parts.
