If the input force is applied at a greater distance than the length of the effort arm is increased thereby reducing the effort.

Why do both the sun and the moon exert a greater gravitational force on one side of the earth than the other?

The gravitational force depends on the distance.


The power required to exert 1 N force over a distance of 1 m in 1 second is?

1 Watt


If the mechanical advantage is less than 1 is the machine still useful?

Yes. An example is a third class lever such as a long fishing rod. The output force is less than the input, but the distance moved is greater and it enables us to exert force in an inaccessible place.


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.


What liquid would exert a greater buoyant force?

What happens to the distance over which you exert your force?

Nothing particular happens specifically to the distance.


What objects on earth exert a greater gravational pull than your whole body?

Gravity and mass are intrinsically related. Therefore any object on Earth that has a greater mass than your whole body will exert a greater gravitational pull than your whole body.


When a force is applied to a wheel does its axle exert a greater force?

no or maybe yes


How does mass and gravity distance effect gravity?

The larger the mass of an object, the greater the force it will exert on other objects. But as the distance from that object becomes greater, the gravitational pull becomes smaller. For example, the sun has a larger mass than the earth, so gravity on the suns surface would be much greater than on earths surface. Also, as you get further and further away from the earth, the less you are influenced by its gravity.


Why is it hard to steer a bike whilst holding the center?

If you exert a force of 100 newtons , and your hands are 10cm (0.1m) from the pivot(the center of the handlebars, the formula is force(100)xPerpendicular distance (0.1) the force would be 10 newtons , but if you increased the distance your hands are from the center (e.g. to 50cm away) the force would be 50 newtons , So, the greater the distance from the center , the greater the turning force (moment).


3 ways simple machines make work easier?

Machines make work easier by: -Changing the amount of force you exert -Changing the distance in which you exert your force -Changing the direction in which you exert your force


How are force and momentum related?

They are related for if you use a lot of momentum,the force you exert will be greater.
