25. What is the formula for calculating work? 11-08-08 Work = Force x Distance
26. If you exert a force, do you always do work? Explain why or why not. 11-9-07 No. In order for work to be done, an object needs to be moved in the direction the force is exerted on it.

34. A machine's ability to multiply force is called its what? 11-28-07 mechanical advantage
35. Name the two types of pulleys and give an example of each type? 11-29-07 moveable (tow truck & blinds) and fixed (elevator & flag pole)
36. The basic parts that make up a complex machine are called what? 12-3-07 simple machines
37. This is a combination of 2 inclined planes that is itself moved with force to cut apart or separate an object. 12-4-07 a wedge
38. The efficiency of a machine compares that output work to the input work and is expressed as a percentage. 12-5-07 efficiency
39. Name the 6 types of simple machines and give an example of each. 12-6-07 lever (scissors,hammer) wedge (door stop, axe) screw (light bulb, jar lid) inclined plane (ramp, ladder) wheel & axle (car wheel, door knob) pulley (elevator, blinds)

44. The number that is above the element symbol is called what? the number below the element symbol is called what? 12-14-07 atomic number and atomic mass
45. The positive charge of an atom is called what? The negative charge is called what? the neutral charge? 12-17-07 proton electron neutron
46. How do you determine the type of element when looking at its atom? 12-18-07 by counting how many protons and electrons it has.
47. Why are the squared on the periodic table color coded? 12-19-07 it distinguishes whether it is a solid, liquid, gas, plasma, metal, nonmetal, metalloid.
