An inclined plane permits you to overcome a large resistance. 3 / 16 What is the benefit of using ball bearings or roller bearings in a machine? greater mass equals more friction metal is smoother than oil rolling friction is less than sliding friction sliding friction is less than rolling friction The benefit of using ball bearings or roller bearings in a machine is that rolling friction is always less than sliding friction. The benefit of using ball bearings or roller bearings in a machine is that rolling friction is always less than sliding friction. 4 / 16 In all machines, the actual mechanical advantage equals the resistance divided by the: load friction mass effort In all machines, the actual mechanical advantage equals the resistance divided by the effort. In all machines, the actual mechanical advantage equals the resistance divided by the effort. 5 / 16 When two gears of unequal size (meaning an unequal number of teeth) are meshed together, the smaller of the two is usually called a: pinion shaft flywheel rack When two gears of unequal size are meshed together, the smaller of the two is usually called a pinion. When two gears of unequal size are meshed together, the smaller of the two is usually called a pinion. 6 / 16 Equilibrium is achieved when the forces on a system are: balanced hyperactive net net inverse Equilibrium is achieved when the forces on a system are balanced. Equilibrium is achieved when the forces on a system are balanced. 7 / 16 When two external gears mesh, they always turn in what directions? upward opposite lower same When two external gears mesh, they always turn in the opposite directions. When two external gears mesh, they always turn in the opposite directions. 8 / 16 A metric system of units means that values can be calculated by factors of: one mass 10 infinity A metric system of units means that values can be calculated by factors of 10.
