Acceleration due to gravity at the space station
What is the acceleration due to gravity at the space station.
What is the acceleration due to gravity at the space station.
The amount of effort saved when using machines is called mechanical advantage (MA). Simple machines use mechanical advantage as a key property to their functionality, helping humans perform tasks that would require more force than a person could produce. We will use the lever as an example of a simple machine to illustrate the concept of mechanical advantage.
In this unit you will learn how to identify equivalent metric units of capacity.
In this online course, you will learn how to identify equivalent metric units of mass.
Why do astronauts appear weightless despite being near the Earth?
Basics of gravity and the Law of Universal Gravitation.
In this unit we will learn how these factors can affect the output of a simple machine. We will also learn about the difference between ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) and actual mechanical advantage (AMA), and how to apply your knowledge to calculate the efficiency of various simple machines.
In this online lesson you will learn how to compare measurements that have different units.
In this unit you will learn how to convert between common metric units of measure.
By the end of this course you will:
