    The traction gear is a small, round metal wheel with notches in it to increase its grip on the lip of the can. When it and the cutting wheel are pressed tightly against opposite sides of the lip of the can, the pressure against the surface of the traction gear causes it to grip the surface of the metal can when you turn the crank.…

    You do not have to look far to see gears. You might not think of an object such as a computer as having a lot of moving parts, but the CD tray on your computer is likely controlled by gears. A traditional watch is full of gears. The watch has one source of power or input that must move multiple hands continuously and at different speeds. Some watches also keep track of the day of the month. This may be low-tech by today’s standards, but imagine the challenge of choosing just the right gears to keep a watch synchronized. In a watch the gears are used to manipulate rotational speed. Gears are also used in many applications to control torque and rotational direction.…

    In Part A, a vehicle was created. The vehicle used gears and two wheel and axles. The gears turned as the front wheels rotated. The axles ran through the width of the vehicle, and the wheels connected to the axle on either side of the vehicle. Each wheel and axle was placed at different ends of the machine, however the vehicle has a short wheel base, since the vehicle is small. Each wheel had a tire for traction and smooth driving, and the vehicle moved one the wheels.…

    1 Gears turn in a circular direction. There is an inverse relationship between torque and speed in gearing. A ten-speed bicycle has ten different gear selections. When you pedal up a hill, you use a gear train that provides more torque (turning force) but, in doing so, less speed.…

    Wheel and axle is two disks or cylinders, each one with a different radius. They are used in a chain reaction where the wheel has something done to it to make the axle turn. They are used in cars and door knobs. An inclined plane is a plane that’s inclined at an angle. They are used to make work easier over a longer distance. They work by making someone go further to have less strain from being horizontal or vertical. Some examples of this is a hill, slides, and ladder. A lever is a bar that helps move heavy loads. They can transfer effort and work. They work by pushing on one side with weight on the other. Copies of this is teeter totters and wheel barrows. A wedge looks like a slice of cake or pizza but is usually wood or metal and is 3D. They are used to cut wood and can do many other things like hold doors open. They work by separating or holding items together. A screw is a cylinder with an inclined plane wrapped around it. It does work by pressing things together or putting things together. For example, they can press fruit making juice and books. A pulley is a wheel with a rope that lifts heavy weights. This can make work easier when oneself wants something from off the ground higher. They do work by getting pulled on one side to bring the object up. They can be used in construction to move like metal and…

    All that is required of the person is to drop a marble into the first bucket so that everything can be triggered. In this simple machine, there are 5 different types of simple machines. Each one has different purposes. For example, the inclined planes in our machine allowed objects to roll down a slanted platform more easily than a straight platform. The wheel and axle and pulleys were used to trigger different objects. In our machine, the wedge and lever is used to hold things up. The wedge’s purpose was to allow the inclined planes to stay up in the right position. The lever was used to hold up the car; it prevented the car from continuously running down. Our machine is also very simple to run, even though when you explain it in words it sounds really complicated. This machine has many triggers to start many parts of the machine so that the machine can run smoothly. Overall, our machine was a…

    I decided on the poem “To a Daughter Leaving Home,” for its overall simplicity matched with the deeper meaning that I found within. It stood out to me immediately as I was able to relate to both the underlying connotation as well as the literal experience of learning to ride a bike. Poems can become complex and complicated, to me, and often lose their meaning. I found this particular poem to be straight forward, clear, and quite frankly, something I could understand.…
