How do you increase the mechanical advantage of a wedge?
The spokes of a wheel are comparable to levers. Longer spokes give more mechanical advantage. Even in a wheel that is solid, and has no spokes, the greater the diameter, the greater the mechanical advantage.
The efficiency of the wedge is low because of?
friction or The mechanical advantage is greater for thinner wedges. However, the efficiency is low because of the large amount of friction.
Non examples of a wedge?
Anything that isn't a wedge, really. An example of a wedge is an axe. A thing with that shape is a wedge. Non examples could be other simple machines: screws, levers, pulleys, really anything that, if you look in an encyclopedia, isn't classified as a wedge. :) .
What is an air wedge?
It is air film which has a wedge shape
What is the Definition of wedge?
the definition of wedge is a wegde in a abject
How do you the Mechanical advantage of a wedge?
Just change the angle of the wedge. The thinner the wedge, the greater the mechanical advantage.
How do you calculate the mechanical advantage of a wedge?
It is the length of the sloped side of the wedge divided by its width.
What is an advantage of a wedge?
it helps you prop a door.
Which has a greater mechanical advantage along or short wide wedge?
a long wedge has a greater mechanical energy then a short wide wedge.
How does a wedge change an input force?
A change can happen when a mechanical advantage increases as it becomes longer and thinner.
How do you increase the mechanical advantage of a wedge?
The spokes of a wheel are comparable to levers. Longer spokes give more mechanical advantage. Even in a wheel that is solid, and has no spokes, the greater the diameter, the greater the mechanical advantage.
Mechanical advantage of a wedge?
you divide the length of the wegde's thickness
How a wedge changes a input force?
A Wedge changes an input force by a change when a mechanical advantage increases as it becomes longer and thinner.
How does a wedge work?
A wedge is used to take advantage of the fact that work done = force x distance.Simply put if you need to force two points apart a wedge allows you to use less force by moving a greater distance.If you knock a wedge into a piece of material by 10cms in order to widen the gap by 2cms it will take one fifth of the force to achieve this.If you think of a screw as being a nail with a very long wedge wrapped around it, you can force this into a solid piece of wood with one hand simply by taking advantage of the mechanical advantage that this wedge provides.
How can you increase the mechanical advantage of a wedge?
Set two wedges back to back!
How a wedge changes an input force.?
A change can happen when a mechanical advantage increases as it becomes longer and thinner.
Is it true that the longer and thinner a wedge is the greater its mechanical advantage is?
MAwedge=S(Slope)/W(width)
