What describes the relationship between friction and IMA for a simple machine?
An ideal machine has no friction. -Nn
What factor affect the mechanical advantage of simple machine?
friction affects the M.A in a simple machine.
Do machines use power to perform work in a more energy efficient manner?
Yes, a simple machine can create friction, and friction can create heat. You are converting mechanical energy to thermal energy.
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..

Which describes the relationships between friction and ima for a simple machine?
Ideal Mechanical Advantage ignores friction. Friction is a force that pops up when you move things. Friction in the direction of motion translates to energy -- lost energy. Unless you want to heat up the world.

Which is not a simple machine A wedge B screw C lever D fulcrum?
An electric motor is not a simple machine, because it uses electric energy, which is not mechanical energy, which powers simple machines.
How does friction affect perpetual motion machines?
IN SIMPLE WORDS: Friction turns mechanical energy into heat energy which causes a loss in mechanical energy and loss in possibility to continue motion..
How do you find the efficiency of a simple machine?
The efficiency of a machine is found by considering the useful energy or work that comes out of it, and dividing this by the work that you put into it. Multiply by 100 to get the answer in terms of percentage. You should never get more than 100% efficiency, or 100%, since energy will be lost (to heat caused by friction for example).
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.
What type of efficiency would a simple machine have if the output work of the machine equals the input work?
Although it is impossible for any machine to have an efficiency of 100%, it would in this case be 100%. Studies have shown that when ever there is motion, there has to be a loss of energy due to friction. So any rotating machine, big or small will have losses.
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.
