Is the ideal mechanical advantage of the ramp is it's mechanical advantage with friction?
No, the ideal is without friction.
What are some ideal mechanical advantage examples?
Mechanical Advantage = Effort/Load
Which is equal to the ideal mechanical advantage of a pulley system?
It only takes half the effort to move an object but twice the distance
How does the size of a ideal mechanical advantage compares to the mechanical advantage?
This is because the actual mechanical advantage is the actual calculation found after dividing the effort force by the output force. Ideal mechanical advantage is what many people would call and estimate. When estimating mechanical advantage, the numbers are always rounded. This makes actual mechanical advantage less. Sources: Science teacher ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The answer above is incorrect. The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) is usually less than the mechanical advantage (MA) in a given machine because of the friction acting on the machine. There will always be some frictional resistance that increases the effort necessary to do the work.
Can the actual mechanical advantage of a machine ever be greater then its ideal mechanical advantage?
In real machines, there is always friction that reduces the efficiency of the machine.This reduces the mechanical advantage because some of the input force has to be used to overcome the force of friction in the machine.To reduce friction in the machine, you could add a lubricant such as oil.
An oar used to row a boat has a handle 160 cm from the fulcrum and the blade 40 cm from the fulcrum What is the ideal mechanical advantage of the oar?
4
What does IMA stands for in physics?
ideal mechanical advantage
Is the ideal mechanical advantage of the ramp is it's mechanical advantage with friction?
No, the ideal is without friction.
You use a crowbar with a 150 cm effort arm as a lever to lift a large rock The rock is 20 cm from the fulcrum What is the ideal mechanical advantage of the lever?
It is 7.5
What is the formula for determine ideal mechanical advantage?
the formula for determing ideal mechanical advantage is effort divided by resistance
What is true about the mechanical advantage of a machine?
it is less than the ideal mechanical advantage
What are some ideal mechanical advantage examples?
Mechanical Advantage = Effort/Load
What are units for Ideal Mechanical Advantage?
Ideal mechanical advantage is a numerical ratio. It's a naked number without a unit.
How does actual mechanical advantage compare with ideal mechanical advantage?
The actual mechanical advantage is usually less, due to losses.
What is the ideal mechanical advantage of a lever 7 meters long and 3 meters high?
The ideal mechanical advantage of the bar is 5.
What will lengthening a ramp do to its ideal mechanical advantage?
Increase the advantage.
How does mechanical advantage differ from ideal mechanical advantage?
Mechanical advantage is determined by physical measurement of the input and output forces and takes into account energy loss due to deflection, friction, and wear. The ideal mechanical advantage, meanwhile, is the mechanical advantage of a device with the assumption that its components do not flex, there is no friction, and there is no wear.
