A wheel and axial eliminates energy expended in vertical displacement, you don't need to waste energy hold cargo up. A wheel and axial also eliminate (to a large degree) horizontal friction. Therefore most of the energy applied is used in horizontal acceleration.
What else can I help you with?
Why will decreasing the radius of the axle improve the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle?
it's a mechanical advantage of 1 (meaning no mechanical advantage). This is because no matter how much easier it is to spin a the wheel rather than the axle, its a longer distance of effort force and vice versa. * * * * * True, but that is not what mechanical advantage is! Mechanical advantage IS the trade off between the force required and the distance travelled. You can find the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle. * * * * * Better. But I think it could be either of the two reciprocal ratios of the radii, depending on whether the wheel/axle is being used in a 2nd class or 3rd class lever configuration ... i.e., are you cranking the wheel in order to turn the axle, as in a winch, or spinning the axle in order to turn the wheel, as in a motor-vehicle ?
Is a potters wheel a wheel and axle?
A wheelbarrow is a complex machine: it incorporates a wheel and the handles form a lever. (That's not considering details like screws to hold it together--primitive wheelbarrows didn't have screws).
How is the wheel and axle useful?
It lightens the amount of force you have to exert to travel over a distance.
What is an example of an wheel and axel?
You could say a bike wheel is a wheel and axle. Also a doorknob is a wheel and axle.
A wheel and axle system with the highest mechanical advantage has?
a large wheel and a small axle
Does a wheel and axle change the direction of the effort force?
Yes, a wheel and axle allows for a change in direction of the effort force. By applying the effort force tangentially to the wheel, it can rotate around the axle, allowing the direction of the force to be redirected as needed.
Does the size of force change in a wheel and axle?
haters
Does a wheel and axle change the direction of applied force?
Yes, a wheel and axle changes the direction of the applied force. When force is applied to the wheel, it causes the axle to rotate in a different direction, which can be used to transfer motion and perform work, such as in vehicles or machines.
What type of simple machine can NOT change the direction of a force?
wheel and axle
When does a wheel and axle a force multiply?
A wheel and axle system multiplies force when the input force is applied to the wheel and the output force is exerted on the axle. The larger radius of the wheel compared to the axle allows for a mechanical advantage, resulting in the amplification of force.
How do you find the output force of a wheel and axle if you already know the input force?
To find the output force of a wheel and axle, you can use the formula: Output Force = Input Force * (Radius of Wheel / Radius of Axle). The output force is determined by the ratio of the radii of the wheel and axle, with the input force determining the overall scaling factor.
How does the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle change the size of the wheel increases?
As the size of the wheel increases the necessary force needed to pull the wheel decreases
What type of a lever is a wheel and axle?
A wheel and axle is considered a type of compound lever, where the wheel acts as the axle's fulcrum. When a force is applied to the wheel, it creates a mechanical advantage by allowing the axle to rotate, thereby multiplying the force applied.
What is used with a pulley to Chang the direction of a force called?
A pulley system combined with a wheel and axle is used to change the direction of a force. The wheel and axle provide a mechanical advantage by allowing a force to be transferred in a different direction while also multiplying the force applied.
What is the input force and output force of a wheel and axle?
Input force is the force you put in to a machine. Output force is a force exerted by a machine. You exert input force on the wheel and when the axle rotates it exert large output force.
How can wheel and axle be used to gain force?
NO
In a wheel and axle what usually exerts the resistance force?
wheel
