Both force and distance increase. You have to use force to turn the screw from point A to point B.

When calculating moment of force what two changes can be made to increase the size of the moments?

To increase the size of the moment of force, you can increase the magnitude of the applied force or increase the distance from the pivot point at which the force is applied. Both of these changes will result in a larger moment of force.


What would be the effect on the gravitational force if you increase mass and increase the distance between the masses?

If you increase the mass, you increase the gravitational force proportionally. If you increase the distance between two masses, you decrease the gravitational force between them by and amount proportional to the square of the distance.


What event will produce the greatest increase in the gravitational force between the two masses?

The event that will produce the greatest increase in gravitational force between two masses is reducing the distance between the masses. According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two masses. Therefore, decreasing the distance between the masses will result in a significant increase in the gravitational force.


A force of 12 N is applied to the handle of a screwdriver being used to pry the lid off a paint can As the force moves through a distance of 0.3 m the screwdriver does 3.2 J of work on the lid What?

The work done by the screwdriver on the lid is 3.2 J. The formula for work is Work = Force x Distance. Therefore, rearranging the formula: Work / Distance = Force. Thus, Force = 3.2 J / 0.3 m = 10.67 N.


Which simple machine does not increase the distance cover which a force is applied?

A lever does not increase the distance over which a force is applied. It only changes the direction or magnitude of the applied force.

Why does a screwdriver allow you to turn a screw you couldn't turn by hand?

A screwdriver allows you to exert more torque on a screw. Torque is defined as the product of the force exerted and the distance from the center of rotation. Torque is essentially a rotational force. It is simple to increase torque, simply increase the distance from the center that the force is being applied, and there is greater torque without increasing your effort. The handle is made to be wide, so that a greater torque can be exerted. It is also much easier to grip a screwdriver than it is to grip a screw. That also plays a factor.

It increases the applied force and changes its distance and direction. -Novanet


Does a screw increase in distance increase in force or change the direction of force?

Increasing the distance on a screw does not change the direction of the force, but it requires more force to turn the screw due to the increased mechanical advantage.


How does work change as force change on distance?

Work is directly proportional to both force and distance. As force increases, the work done will also increase. Likewise, if the distance over which the force is applied increases, the work done will also increase proportionally.


What simple machine can increase distance?

A lever can increase the distance over which a force is applied. By using a longer lever arm, the input force can be spread over a larger distance to achieve a greater output distance.
