Distinguish between theoretical mechanical advantage and actual mechanical advantage How will these compare if a machine is 100 percent efficient?
When a machine is 100% efficient, theoretical and actual MAs are the same. Please let me know when you run across one of these.
How does the ideal compare with the actual mechanical advantage?
The actual mechanical advantage is usually less, due to losses.
If a machine was 100 percent efficient how would the AMA compare to the IMA?
At perfect 100% efficiency, the Actual Mechanical Advantage should equal the Ideal Mechanical Advantage.
Actual mechanical advantage of a pulley?
Mechanical Advantage = distance moved at input / distance moved at output
You test a machine and find that it exerts a force of 5 N for each 1 N of force you exert operating the machine What is the actual mechanical advantage of the machine?
The mechanical advantage is 5.Mechanical Advantage = Output Force/Input Force

How does actual mechanical advantage compare with ideal mechanical advantage?
The actual mechanical advantage is usually less, due to losses.
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 is always better then theoretical MA why?
"Better" is an interesting word. I would guess that theoretical MA beats actual MA any day of the week. Some energy is lost in friction.
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.
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.
